PHOENIX 20 FLIES 22 A Celebration of Atlanta’s Historic Sites

FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS • MARCH 5–27, 2022

preserveatlanta.com

ABOUT PHOENIX FLIES Atlanta’s historic built environment of buildings, landscapes and neighborhoods is an integral part of the city’s culture and economy. Phoenix Flies: A Celebration of Atlanta’s Historic Sites provides an opportunity to learn about, celebrate and strengthen Atlanta’s historic and cultural assets. The celebration was created in 2003 by the Atlanta Preservation Center as a way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the dramatic rescue of the Fox Theatre, an event that changed Atlanta’s preservation perspective forever. Phoenix Flies 2022 is the 19th year that the APC has brought together organizations and individuals from the community to demonstrate the value of Atlanta’s historic built environment. The celebration has grown from 16 preservation partners and 40 events to an average of 100 partners offering over 200 events each year. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, not all partners are able to fully return to inperson events. We look forward to continuing to have Phoenix Flies in a safe, engaging, and enjoyable format with multiple opportunities to participate, in-person or virtually. All in-person events will follow current City of Atlanta and Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) health and safety guidelines at the time of the event. All past virtual programs can be viewed anytime at vimeo.com/preserveatlanta and upcoming virtual events will be available live via the Zoom platform. Please register for the specific event to receive the program link.

Welcome to Phoenix Flies 2022 The Atlanta Preservation Center is dedicated to preserving the historic buildings, landscapes and neighborhoods of this city. We also support educational experiences, programs and practices to grow the appreciation and understanding of the role of preservation in Atlanta. Phoenix Flies is the way we braid these two approaches into a month-long awareness and celebration of how we have fostered partnerships and spaces that represent the ethos of preservation. This year we will concentrate on the important work of Easements Atlanta. A historic preservation easement is a voluntary legal deed agreement, which permanently protects a significant historic property. The property owner places specific restrictions on the property and transfers these restrictions to this organization whose mission is historic preservation. The last 38 years have provided an uncommon ability for Easements Atlanta to preserve and protect some of our most precious architectural assets in the city including the Healey Building, Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill, and more than 40 other significant historic properties. Phoenix Flies this year has the support of many members of Atlanta City Council. This collaboration illustrates the success of having our diverse city support a singular goal of thoughtful inclusion through preservation. We are an amazing city and this mutual support reflects our resilience to embrace challenges. The Atlanta Preservation Center continues to be proud of the dedication of our partners and the strength of our city. Phoenix Flies shows the best of what we are and magnifies our achievements and encourages each of us to do more for each other. Please enjoy Phoenix Flies 2022 and know how much it means not only to the Atlanta Preservation Center but also to each neighborhood in this city. We are a city of neighborhoods and together we make Atlanta. Thank you,

David Y. Mitchell Executive Director, Atlanta Preservation Center

PROGRAM NOTES Events this year are a mix of in-person and virtual. In-person events will follow current City of Atlanta health and safety guidelines.

All events are subject to change or cancellation without notice. All events are attended at the risk of the attendee. Some events require reservations.

About Atlanta Atlanta was sited in 1837 to serve as a railroad transportation hub and, therefore, was assured to be a place of growth and expansion. At the end of the Civil War in 1865, over half of the city had been burned and its infrastructure destroyed. Nonetheless, in 1868, it became the Georgia state capital and by the end of Reconstruction in 1877 was physically much larger than its pre-war boundaries. The city now features well over 150 years of buildings, neighborhoods and landscapes which are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places—all worthy of preservation and celebration. Look for the National Register (NR) designation beneath the event listing description.

HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM

A description of each event, including the date and time, as well as an address and reservation information, where relevant, can be found in each entry.

ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER

About the Cover Beginning as Western Heights Baptist Church in 1920, this Stone Mountain granite structure located at the corner of James P. Brawley Drive and Cameron M. Alexander Blvd NW is remembered most as being St. Mark AME. The congregation of St. Mark AME began worshiping in the building in October 1948. St. Mark AME Church became one of the largest African American Methodist Episcopal churches in Atlanta and hosted several large gatherings for the community such as the Atlanta-North Georgia Annual Conferences and midterm graduations for Booker T. Washington High School. The Phoenix Flies celebration is an annual program of the Atlanta Preservation Center. If you know of a place that should be celebrated, please contact us at info@preserveatlanta.com so that we may consider including it in next year’s program.

A Celebration of Atlanta’s Historic Sites

About the Atlanta Preservation Center The Atlanta Preservation Center (APC) was established as the City’s first private non-profit preservation organization.

The Atlanta Voice 633 Pryor St., Atlanta, GA 30312 www.theatlantavoice.com @theatlantavoice INFORMATION

For more than 50 years, The Atlanta Voice has provided a voice for the voiceless without fear or favor and is proud to continue its legacy as a voice for those who still need a platform to plead their causes. It is the largest audited African American community newspaper in Georgia with over 600 distribution locations throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. Founded in 1966 by the late Ed Clayton and the late J. Lowell Ware, the paper extended its presence into other cities via The Athens Voice, The Macon Voice, The Pensacola Voice and The Augusta Voice. Today, the original newspaper model is challenged and The Atlanta Voice has continued to evolve as it redefines, redirects and refocuses its efforts to better connect with the community it serves. Our publisher Janis Ware took over the operations of the newspaper in 1991 after the death of her father. Ms. Ware said recently, “The Atlanta Voice is more than just a newspaper…We are online, in print and on-demand with our digital platforms and mobile apps. We are truly a multimedia operation.”

Buckhead Heritage Hidden Neighborhood: A Walking Tour of Peachtree Heights East Saturday, March 12 at 10am INFORMATION

INFORMATION

Built in the 1920’s, the Abrams Fixtures buildings are a snapshot of the post-Civil War industrialization era when commercial districts like the one in Adair Park helped anchor business in Atlanta. This structure is brimming with raw details characteristic of its 20’s era slow-burn mill construction, from pulley fire door systems to cast iron support beams and large factory windows. Come along for an exposition on how Braden Fellman plans to preserve and repurpose these distinct features in the upcoming mixed-use development of the site in collaboration with Beacon Construction and Pimsler Hoss Architects. For more information and to register, go to preserveatl.eventbrite.com. MISSION STATEMENT: The Braden Fellman Group was founded in 1981 by Bob Braden and Peter Fellman with a vision to breathe new life into Atlanta’s neglected older homes and create a distinctive renting experience unavailable from newer, cookie cutter properties. For more than 4 decades, we have worked to preserve the historic character of some of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods amongst the ever-changing face of the city. As a local family-owned company, we are powered by a love for Atlanta and the people who make it home.

Discover former residents — including movie star Susan Hayward; Helen Douglas Mankin, the first female Georgia Congresswoman; and Hamilton Douglas, Jr., who established the first Boy Scout Troop in Atlanta — who quietly shaped Atlanta and beyond. The unique neighborhood, begun in 1909 by Eretus E. (“Petie”) Rivers, includes approximately 330 homes. Its house styles range from early 20th century American two story four-square, Craftsman Bungalow, Cape Cod, Tudor, Ranch to 21st century home styles. The tour includes a stop at the neighborhood’s beloved duck pond, which resides on 7.5 acres of green space and is home to more than 40 species of birds.

MISSION STATEMENT: Buckhead Heritage strives to enhance the quality of life in Buckhead by identifying, preserving, and promoting its historic resources.

City of Refuge 1300 Joseph E. Boone Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30314 www.cityofrefugeatl.org @cityofrefugeatl

Virtual tour: www.vimeo.com/333813246 INFORMATION In July of 1997, Pastor Bruce Deel was asked to travel to Atlanta to assist with the closing of a church. A few weeks into the process, he realized something miraculous was happening. Instead of the congregation dwindling, it was growing—with people desperately in need of spiritual nurturing as well as basic life necessities. Recognizing that most of the people The Mission Church served traveled from the city’s Westside, City of Refuge sought to be closer to them. In 2003, after months of searching for a facility, City of Refuge was miraculously donated a sprawling warehouse complex in the heart of 30314, and opened its doors to the community. From this new hub, the community began to seek more than food and shelter. They asked City of Refuge for help getting into recovery centers, to serve as advocates in court, and for job training and vocational skills. When they asked City of Refuge for something it could not provide, City of Refuge collaborated with other organizations that could. As a result, City of Refuge grew. MISSION STATEMENT: City of Refuge is a faith-based environment that helps individuals and families transition out of crisis.

Little 5 Points Historical Walking Tour Opening Guided Tour: Wednesday, March 9 at 4pm Self-Guided Tour: Thursday, March 10 – Sunday, March 27 INFORMATION

Little 5 Points (L5P), built in 1908, was the first commercial district outside of downtown Atlanta. L5P grew into an avant garde arts and shopping district, serving the in-town neighborhoods of Inman Park and Candler Park. By the 1930’s, there were many successful businesses in L5P, including three movie theaters (The Palace, The Euclid and the Little Five Points), three grocery stores (Kroger, Colonial and A&P), four drug stores, and three barbershops. By the 1960’s, L5P was struggling economically. In 1975, the City of Atlanta awarded community grants to L5P, which were used for public improvements. These grants and the entrepreneurial spirit of community-based businesses helped spur the revitalization. On our tour, we will explore the architecture and legacy businesses of L5P. Tour begins at L5P Center for Arts & Community (meet outside at the corner of Euclid and Austin) and ends at the Wrecking Bar Brewpub. Subsequent, on-going tours will be self-guided with a map available online. To reserve your spot for the guided tour, go to preserveatl.eventbrite.com. Self-guided tour available at www.l5pba.com.

OLMSTED 200 is the celebration of the bicentennial of the birth of Frederick Law Olmsted in Hartford, Connecticut, on April 26, 1822. Surveyor, farmer, journalist, and social reformer, Frederick Law Olmsted founded American landscape architecture with the creation of the Greensward Plan that won the competition for a ‘central park’ in New York City. The rest is history. But not only parks: subdivisions, private grounds both residential and institutional, gardens, campuses, cemeteries and more. The firm continued for nearly 100 years carried on by his sons John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. Phoenix Flies is pleased to recognize this bicentennial and highlight Atlanta’s Olmsted legacy. Druid Hills was Frederick Law Olmsted’s “last suburb” design/ plan done near the end of his career (1893) and carried through by his sons. John Charles Olmsted was the principal on the ground in Atlanta and the firm did improvement plans for Grant Park and Piedmont Park as well as Springvale Park in the Inman Park neighborhood (1903). You can go to the richly populated Olmsted 200 website – Olmsted200.org – to see the early array of events being planned by and for Olmsted sites across the country.

The first building was built in 1896, and subsequent buildings in the next decade, but the complex was only used as a prison for 30 years. Built by the prisoners, the buildings feature unique concrete and stone construction. In 2020, all three buildings (the Stockade, the Stables, and the Forge) were fully renovated in a partnership of Urban Realty Partners/Tecton, with tenants ranging from an event space to creative tech offices. Come along to learn about the layers of the building’s history and materials, and the challenges of the renovation, with neighbor and architect Sarah Butler of Praxis3. Tour is about 1.5 hours. Street parking is available. Registration required. For more information and to register, go to preserveatl.eventbrite.com.
