Norfolk Southern Within the Central Railroad District, which has been a focus of our activities for some time, the Norfolk Southern railroad headquarters building is located a few blocks away from the old Constitution building. The very long structure was built in 1912 adjacent to the rail lines which fed into the now-demolished Terminal Sta- tion. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the development firm CIM is interested in acquiring the property. Such a rehabilitation project is potentially eli- gible for the preservation tax incentives and could have a similar economic revitali- Norfolk Southern railroad building zation impact on the Gulch area as the Ponce City Market project had on its sur- Photo: Central Atlanta Progress rounding neighborhoods. David T. Howard School Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood has undergone impressive economic revitali- zation, most recently including the Ponce City Market rehabilitation and the develop- ment of the Atlanta Beltline. Atlanta Public Schools has announced that the long-vacant David T. Howard School will reopen in 2020 as a new middle school, replacing the cur- rent Inman Middle School, which in turn will transition to a much-needed new elemen- tary school. The decision to reuse the school building came from both a need for a larg- David T.

Howard School opened in 1924 and served as both an elementary and high school through the years; due to low enrollment it closed in 1975. Significant alumni include Martin Luther King, Jr. and former Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson. When the school reopens in 2020, it will be the first time it will house an integrated student body. Atlanta Stockade Earlier this year Urban Realty Partners and RAF Capital applied for the state and feder- al tax incentive program to rehabilitate the historic Atlanta Stockade for $11 million, which will net them almost $5 million in tax credits. The former prison and its two adja- cent outbuildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The new commercial use development will be called GlenCastle. According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, a four-acre site adjacent to the Atlanta Stockade recently has been purchased by Grubb Properties for $5.1 million. The site currently is occupied by a Atlanta Stockade school building built about 1930 and most recently known as the Atlanta Arts Exchange campus. Grubb plans to demolish the historic school and build 240 new residential apartments. Because the Grubb Properties development plan involves the demolition, and not a rehabilitation, of a historic building, the developers would not be eligible for the preservation tax incentives. Both sites are east of downtown Atlanta, near the Glenwood Park development and the Atlanta Beltline. Pratt-Pullman Yard Pratt-Pullman Yard was listed on our Endangered List in 2001. We have advocated for this complex since that time. After nearly three decades of ownership by the Georgia Building Authority, the historic Pratt-Pullman Yard, located at 225 Rogers St. in Kirkwood, was sold to Atomic Entertainment for $8 million. The following month, the Atlanta Urban Design Commission approved a resolution nominating the Pratt-Pullman Yard as a landmark district; all the buildings located within the district are included within this designation. However, the decision is not final until it is approved by both the Zoning Review Board and the Atlanta City Council. The industrial com- 3 plex also is a contributing property to the Kirkwood Historic District, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The complex originally was constructed in 1906 as the Pratt Engineering and Machineworks company. In 1926 it was purchased by the Pullman Company who converted the site for use as its southeastern repair shop and built additional buildings. The new owner plans to transform the site into an entertainment district and movie studio on the 27-acre site and potentially could be eligible for state and federal preservation tax incentives, the city Landmark Historic Property Tax Abatement program, and the City/County Pratt-Pullman Yard Urban Enterprise Zone Tax Abatement Program. The Peachtree Center Historic District was added to the Georgia Register of Historic Places and nominated to the National Register in August by the Georgia National Register Review Board. The nomination was sponsored by Central Atlanta Progress. The 24-acre district in- cludes 15 buildings designed by Atlanta architect-developer John C. Portman, Jr., including the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel, the Atlanta Hotel and Westin Peachtree Plaza, the Atlanta Mar- riott Marquis, the AmericasMart complex, the Mall at Peachtree Center and seven office buildings. Many of the buildings feature Portman’s signature design element, the public atri- um. All of the buildings are united by pedestrian sky bridges, another of his design features. The 230 Peachtree Building (Peachtree Center Tower) currently is being rehabilitated as a 230 Peachtree Building federal and state preservation tax incentives project, but all contributing buildings in the nomi- nated district potentially would be eligible to participate in the program as well. ENDANGERED PROPERTIES Peachtree-Pine Homeless Shelter Peachtree-Pine Homeless Shelter is currently on our Endangered List. Just as de- velopment projects and revitalization efforts are increasing downtown and in Mid- town, plans are underway for Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) to take control of the Peachtree-Pine Homeless Shelter building, located at 477 Peachtree Street, in Oc- tober when the shelter closes its doors. Shelter residents currently are being moved to other shelter locations throughout the city. The mission of the non- United Motor Services Building, profit CAP, founded in 1941, is to “enhance and preserve the vitality of downtown formerly the Atlanta.” Neighbors look forward to CAP finding a new use for the historic build- Peachtree-Pine Shelter ing constructed in 1921 as the United Motors Services Building and designed by prominent Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck Brown. As a potentially eligible National Register-listed building, a reha- bilitation project could be eligible for state and federal tax incentives. Trust Company Bank Building The Atlanta Preservation Center has been advocating for over a decade to preserve the former Trust Company Bank Building, located at 2160 Monroe Drive. The build- ing was one of those we featured during our “Ancients and Moderns” series of events, which pointed out the value of Atlanta’s modernist architecture prior to the formation of other groups, who have now focused on this. The iconic round building was de- Trust Company Building signed by Henri Jova in 1962 and remained a bank until 2000.

  • 11. Historic Preservation A
    Cottonwood General Plan 2025 11. HISTORIC PRESERVATION A. INTRODUCTION Historic preservation is an optimistic and inspiring field of interest intent on improving present and future quality of life awareness through the appreciation of our built and cultural heritage. Historic preservation is architectural history, community planning, historical research and surveys, oral history, archaeology, economic revitalization, and more. It relates directly to quality of life, sense of place and cultural identity. Historic preservation is about preserving, documenting, and incorporating the significant elements of the past into the present and future life of the community. The General Plan’s Historic Preservation Element examines historic preservation issues in the city and establishes goals and objectives intended to help accomplish these goals. Related goals and objectives act as guidelines for property owners, developers, and businesses, as well as City Staff, the Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council when considering historic preservation issues within the city. Preservation of buildings and structures in their original condition with the original intended use can be seen as the ideal expression of historic preservation. However, uses change over time so how a building is used may need to adapt to these changing circumstances to be viable. When there is pressure for change, an analysis of alternative treatments should be considered to determine the appropriate approach to allow alterations without losing the essential historic character of the structure. Repair, reuse or relocation of structures should be considered instead of demolition. Rehabilitation, which includes alterations to a structure, may also be considered where necessary to allow a building use to meet contemporary needs and interests.

Atlanta map section and photos of proposed marker site 31 2 Proposed marker text: The Granite Governor’s Mansion The Granite Mansion served as Georgia’s third Executive Mansion from 1924-1967. Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

Summary: Replacement of 5 first floor windows at 603 Normal Ave B. Recommended Action: Approval as proposed by applicant C. Background: 1. Property Information: Applicant(s): Tom and Claire Lamonica Owner(s): Tom and Claire Lamonica Location: 603 Normal Ave 2. Property Description: 603 Normal Ave was designated a contributing property to the Old North Normal Historic District by the Town Council in September of 2003 (Ordinance No. 4887). This two-story, side gable Craftsman home was built in 1925 and features a modern rear addition (approved by the HPC in May of 2007) and a detached garage. 1 3. Description of Proposed Alteration: The applicant proposes to install 5 wood, double-hung insert windows externally clad in aluminum in place of 5 original windows on the home.
