CELEBR AT ING OVER 4 0 Y E A R S OF PR E SERVATION IN ATL ANTA ! The Atlanta Preservation Center is celebrating over 40 years of preservation advocacy and education. Established on November 5, 1979, the Atlanta Preservation Center has been fortunate to play a role in preserving the City of Atlanta’s historic resources: in Fairlie-Poplar, Auburn Avenue, Midtown, English Avenue, West End, Westview, and many more.
We have grown to understand our role, to promote the craft of preservation, and that preservation must be more inclusive and a constant part of the discussion of our city. Preservation can - and must - bind us to our past, present, and future. The Atlanta Preservation Center is deeply grateful to Council Member Amir Farokhi
and the entire Atlanta City Council for recognizing the organization with an official proclamation. We are also grateful for all our dedicated members, volunteers, and community partners throughout the decades for their constant support. We are very proud of what has been accomplished and are enthusiastic about what we can do in the decades to come. Thank you, Atlanta.
