THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S

Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES

FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS

PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies

ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown. Our mission statement, to preserve Atlanta’s historic and culturally significant assets, reflects the grounding of Preservation within this idea of culture. The National Register of Historic Places, in listing a building recognizes its cultural significance within the context of American history. Today, preservation in Atlanta is often discussed only in terms of its potential for economic development and profit. Development is a vehicle; it is not the purpose of preservation. We are fortunate to be in Georgia, which offers significant economic incentives to certified preservation projects and are also fortunate to have developers and investors who have done much to save and revitalize our historic assets through these programs. In the 2017 Phoenix Flies, we seek to revisit the original concept of historic preservation—to preserve America’s heritage for its own sake and for all the benefits which flow from that effort. To this end, we pay tribute to all the Preservation Partners participating in this year’s festival and to the results of their multi-faceted efforts. We also want to honor 13 Atlanta ladies who have made substantial contributions to the success of preservation in our City and beyond. You will read about their efforts in the following pages. Your attendance in our Phoenix Flies festival is a testament to the validity of the intentions of the founding mothers of preservation. You are here because preservation is part of your quality of life, your intellectual and aesthetic interests, your culture; regardless of the economic value of preservation, its true value lies in the everyday impact it has on the lives of all American citizens.
