The Midtown Historic District in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is roughly contiguous with what the Midtown Alliance organization calls the "Midtown Neighborhood", which is only part of the much larger Midtown neighborhood. The Midtown Local Historic District organization seeks to designate most of the current historic district as a "local historic district", which unlike simply being listed on the National Register, actually provides tools for preservation of the historic architecture.

The Atlanta Biltmore Hotel and Biltmore Apartments, located at 817 West Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia, were developed by William Candler, son of Coca Cola executive Asa Candler, with Holland Ball Judkins, and John McEntee Bowman. Opening on April 19, 1924, the 11-story hotel and 10-story apartment buildings were located somewhat away from downtown Atlanta, in an area that became known as Midtown. Designed by the New York firm of Schultze and Weaver, the hotel was operated by Bowman-Biltmore Hotels.It is easily distinguished by the towering radio masts on each end of the building, with vertical illuminated letters that spell out "BILTMORE". The top floor and radio masts broadcast WSB-AM from 1925 until 1956.HistoryIn 1967 it was sold to Sheraton Hotels and became the Sheraton-Biltmore Hotel. Sheraton spent $5 million on renovations before selling the hotel in 1979 to Biltmore Hospitality Partners. The hotel continued operating independently as the Atlanta Biltmore before finally closing in 1982. The hotel was sold again in 1984 to Renaissance Investment Corporation. They planned to convert both the smaller apartment tower and the enormous hotel tower to condominiums. They completed work on the apartment tower, but then went bankrupt in 1986 and had to sell the entire property. The newly renovated apartment tower was opened as the Biltmore Suites Hotel while the main building remained vacant for many years.

The Capital City Club is a private social club located in Atlanta, Georgia. Chartered on May 21, 1883, it is one of the oldest private clubs in the South.HistoryAccording to its charter, the purpose of the club is "to promote the pleasure, kind feeling and general culture of its members." Harry C. Stockdell was the club's first president. He was succeeded in 1884 by Robert J. Lowry; and in 1885 Livingston Mims began the longest term as president, serving, with a two-year interruption, from 1886 through 1906. Subsequent presidents have all served two years or less.The first club house was located at 43 Walton Street. In August 1884, the club moved to a new establishment at 114 Peachtree Street. The Club presently operates three facilities for the use of its members, the oldest of which, the downtown Atlanta club building on John Portman Blvd., was dedicated on December 16, 1911. Herbert Barker was the original architect of the golf course, which was completed in 1911. The Capital City Country Club, located in Brookhaven, was leased in 1913 and purchased in 1915. At that time the golf course was increased from nine to eighteen holes. The present country club building was erected in 1928. In the autumn of 2002 an additional club facility, the Crabapple Golf Club, was completed on 600acre in the northern portion of Fulton County, Georgia.

The Hurt Building is an 18-story building at 50 Hurt Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. Built between 1913 and 1926, the bulk of the building was completed in 1913, with a courtyard, entry rotunda and a wing extending final completion to 1926. It was built by Joel Hurt, an Atlanta developer to a design by the New York architectural firm of J.E.R. Carpenter. The Hurt Building is a flatiron building, occupying a triangular site, with the rotunda at the apex. With restrained ornamentation, it occupies a middle ground between Beaux Arts classicism and the emerging modernist aesthetic.One of the nation’s earliest skyscrapers, the first tenant occupied the Hurt Building in October 1913. Standing 18 floors in height and said to be the 17th largest office building in the world at the time of its construction, it is considered a good example of the skyscraper developed by Louis Sullivan and The Chicago School. World War I delayed construction of the building’s north and south wings and light well until 1924. Six decades later, beginning in 1983, The Hurt Building was completely renovated, inside and out, reopening in 1985.The Hurt Building's lower four floors were designed to envelope the maximum allowable building site, except the western building apex, which was constructed 30-feet back in order to enhance window area and promote the majestic view of Atlanta’s burgeoning city. The upper 13-floors of the building, configured in a “V” are appointed by an open light well, accentuated by elevated garden areas. The building is constructed of steel frame and reinforced concrete. The building envelope is uninterrupted marble and glazed brick piers with ornamental terra cotta spandrels terminating in a heavy decorative cornice exemplifying the craftsmanship of the early 1900s.

The 133,000-square-foot, 17-story William Oliver Building was built by Atlanta's legendary Healey family in 1930. The name was inspired by two Healey family grandsons, William and Oliver. Recently, The William Oliver won a Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation Outstanding Achievement Award for Rehabilitation. Original design features include hand-tooled metal and hand-carved granite and marble on the exterior, hand-tooled brass inside and marble and travertine floors. The William Oliver is located at the gateway of downtown's Fairlie-Poplar Historic District. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it combines the best of old-world charm with modern day amenities. Completely renovated in 1996, this classic 1930's architectural gem is the finest remaining example of classic Art Deco design in Georgia. The lavish Art Deco lobby with authentic murals and façade creates a classic and welcoming tone for residents and guests and the grandeur of a bygone era. There are eight floor plans of studios, one- and two- bedroom homes and six penthouses ranging from 465 to 1,310 square-feet. Several condominiums have original glass office doors, one still bearing the name of its corporate occupant. The building combines the best of the old world charm with modern day amenities. The seventeen floors are a masterpiece of hand curved granite and limestone. Original terrazzo marble floors and hand curved brass elevators and building ornamentations. Soaring ceilings heights and oversized windows create the expansive urban flair, fused with standard finishes and upgrades including stainless steel appliances, exotic floorings such as bamboo, Portuguese cork and Italian limestone, granite and Corian countertops, Shaker & Winstead 42-inch kitchen vanity cabinets, designer faucets and under mount stainless kitchen & porcelain bath sinks. Since 1930, The William Oliver has proudly stood on the historic corner of Peachtree and Marietta Streets. The William Oliver sits within Fairlie Poplar, once Atlanta's financial district, now its first true urban neighborhood. From the grand entry with bronze canopy and formal security to the rooftop deck, The William Oliver is stylishly approachable and an appealing alternative to life outside the city. Adjacent to the extended campus of Georgia State University, The William Oliver boasts a one-of-a-kind location strategically situated between Centennial Olympic Park and Woodruff Park. You can't help but enjoy outdoor concerts, eclectic art galleries, nearby theaters, museums and even front row rooftop seats to fireworks from Turner Field, Centennial Park, and Underground Atlanta (NY’s Eve Peachdrop!). The William Oliver features uniformed security, an outstanding rooftop landscaped deck with unmatched breathtaking citywide views, business center, vending area, pet friendly atmosphere, storage rooms, spacious fitness center, basic cable TV, community intranet and high speed internet service. A builder of downtown lofts since the late 1980's, developer Rick Skelton conceived the William Oliver Building project with its original owner, James Cumming, as "a partnership of housing and retail expertise working together to build a more vibrant, 24-hour downtown." Financed through an Urban Residential Finance Authority tax-exempt bond, The William Oliver project reflects a national trend toward redevelopment of neglected downtown properties into loft space. One of the city's few remaining skyscrapers of its era, the building is one of the largest surviving examples of what Skelton calls the "true classic deco style" of architecture, which was meant to "show what machines were capable of doing" in the realm of architectural design. Jason Moss of Rowhouse Design Group, in collaboration with Stang & Newdow, designed the project, which included restoration of an expansive deco mural on the lobby ceiling, where two large chandeliers also were refurbished. "We restored the lobby to its pristine form," Skelton said. Skelton Development has received numerous prestigious awards for their achievements in historically sensitive renovations like 90 Fairlie, Deer Lofts, and Stonewall Battery. Skelton Development chose Rowhouse Architects, an Atlanta firm known for their innovative urban designs for new and historic projects. Exclusive sales and marketing for The William Oliver was provided by Coldwell Banker The Condo Store, recognized as Atlanta's experts and premier marketer of condominiums, lofts, luxury high rises, cluster and townhomes. Skelton describes the interior spaces of the units as having a "soft" loft attitude with soaring ceilings, oversized windows for spectacular citywide views, and minimal exposed duct work. While retaining the original terrazzo marble floors and classic art deco lobby, the William Oliver offers buyers the opportunity to upgrade the interiors of their units for a very modern feel with stainless steel appliances and exotic floorings such as bamboo and Portuguese cork. In addition to modern aesthetics, the William Oliver offers modern technology with high speed internet services and cable TV. "The unique historic design of The William Oliver was a selling factor for the development," says Skelton. "No one could afford to build a lavish lobby of its type with granite and solid brass today. The facade of hand-carved granite and limestone is impossible to replicate and the building would have cost a fortune. Furthermore, the new urbanist concept dictates that people miss a sense of place and community. In redeveloping historic structures, we are giving people just that - their own place in history. " "The William Oliver is the largest art deco building in the South," says Skelton." The lobby and entry awning is solid brass, and it has the largest art deco mural in the South. This was the site of Atlanta's first election in 1832." "Downtown Atlanta offers residents a true Chicago-New York style environment," says Skelton. "Loft living has come into vogue, and tax incentives in the historic properties make living in urban Atlanta less expensive than their Midtown and Buckhead counterparts. Georgia State University is the catalyst for growth, and the University's move into Fairlie-Poplar is likened to New York University migrating into New York City's Soho district ." "We've got people living downtown now, and the next evolution is pets downtown," said Skelton. "With Woodruff, Centennial and Piedmont parks right here, Intown is a wonderful place for pets."Skelton says he regularly encountered potential buyers who hesitated to commit to a condo because they owned a pet. "I had to tell them that people do live downtown with pets," Skelton said. "Particularly people who live in suburbia think that just because they have a dog or a cat, they need a yard. But in the studies we've looked at, between 15 and 20 percent of the people in lofts and condos have some sort of pet. And to entice those buyers, you needed to have a pet-friendly environment." Today, The William Oliver is home to 115 upscale residential units with security and a "lock and leave" lifestyle for its residents. Business professionals, airline pilots, government employees, empty nesters and even second home owners can conveniently walk to work as well as to artistic and entertainment venues for after hours enjoyment.

The Healey Building, at 57 Forsyth Street NW, in the Fairlie-Poplar district of Atlanta, was the last major "skyscraper" built during the first great burst of multi-story commercial construction preceding World War I. In fact, it was World War I, which led to the alteration of the original design, which called for twin towers connected by a rotunda. Only the west tower and rotunda were constructed before World War I broke out. The death in 1920 of William Healey forestalled continuation of the project after the war. According to Dr. Elizabeth Lyon in her National Register of Historic Places nomination, "The Healey Building has an elegance and high shouldered dignity which make it outstanding among its contemporaries." Those contemporaries include the Chandler, the Flatiron and Hurt Buildings among others. Although certainly distinctive for its physical appearance and location, the Healey Building is also associated with significant individuals in Atlanta history. Thomas G. Healey and his son William T. Healey were political and business leaders in the city - in the case of Thomas, dating back to pre-Civil War times. Their contributions to Atlanta's architectural history as contractors and businessmen are numerous and significant. In addition to the Healeys, the architects Thomas Morgan, John Dillon, and Walter T. Downing have left an important body of works as monuments to their skill and abilities.Born in 1818, Thomas G. Healey moved to Savannah, Ga. in 1846, from Connecticut. A few years later, he was in Atlanta working in the brick-making business and as builder/contractor in partnership with Maxwell Berry. Healey and Berry were responsible for a number of Atlanta churches and government buildings prior to the war, including the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Trinity Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and the United States Custom House (later City Hall). Following the destruction of the war, Healey was in the perfect business for the construction boom of the late 1800s, which rebuilt Atlanta. As his wealth accumulated, T. G. Healey became active in politics and other business ventures. One investment was in land, including the northwest corner of Marietta and Peachtree Streets where he built the first Healey Building. This location was the place where Atlanta's first elections were held in 1848 and where T. G. Healey's grandsons (William and Oliver) built the William-Oliver Building in 1930. From 1877 to 1882, Healey was president of the Atlanta Gas Light Company. In the 1880s, he was president of the West End and Atlanta Street Railroad Company, on the Executive Committee of the 1881 International Cotton Exhibition, and a Director of Joel Hurt's Atlanta Home Insurance Company (of which he was a purchaser of $5,000 in original stock). Politically, he was city alderman- at-large (1881) and mayor pro tem (1884). By 1889, the Atlanta Constitution was estimating Healey's wealth at between $500,000 and $1,000,000 - thus making him one of the fifteen richest men in the city. During this period, William T. Healey joined his father in his many business ventures, which still included brick making and real estate development. Among their joint enterprises were the Atlanta Car Works streetcar line (1892) and the development of a mineral water property, Austell Lithia Springs. After Thomas Healey's death in 1897, William carried on the family businesses, which came to include the new Healey Building of 1914. Excavations took most of 1913 and the project became known as "Healey's Hole," with seventy (seven feet square) wells filled with concrete reaching a depth of sixty feet.

The Odd Fellows Building and Auditorium, located at 228—250 Auburn Avenue, N.E. in the Sweet Auburn Historic District of Atlanta, Georgia, are historic buildings built in 1912 and 1913, respectively, as the headquarters of the District Grand Lodge No. 18, Jurisdiction of Georgia, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America. B.S. Ingram was District Grand Master and Dr. William F. Penn was chairman of the building committee. Renowned Atlanta-based architect William Augustus Edwards designed the buildings, while Robert E. Pharrow was the contractor and M.B. Morton was superintendent of construction. Booker T. Washington dedicated the Odd Fellows Building in 1912.The Odd Fellows Building and Auditorium are closely linked with Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Sr. (1870–1945), Atlanta's most influential black journalist, who edited the Atlanta Independent, the official organ of District No. 18. He was District Grand Secretary and a member of the Building Committee when they were built.The Odd Fellows Building, called the Tower, is 6 stories high while the Auditorium next door, called the Annex, is 2 stories with an atrium that adds another 2 or 3 stories in height. Both are built of redbrick except for the first floor of the Tower which is stone. The Annex was used for many years as a movie house and was the only major venue in Atlanta where blacks could be seated on the main floor. In addition to providing meeting and office space for the Odd Fellows, the Tower provided office and store space for black-owned businesses and black professionals. Its flat roof was used for dances for many years.

The Ponce, originally known as the Ponce de Leon Apartments, opened in 1913, and was designed by architect William Stoddart, who also designed the neighboring Georgian Terrace hotel. The building converted to a condominium in 1982, when its Beaux Arts & Italianate finishes were thoroughly restored. It currently includes 61 exclusive residences. The Ponce Condominiums is turning 100 next year and we're beginning to plan a few festivities. Like our page and we'll be sure to update you with any new plans for our 100 year celebration.

The Atlanta Biltmore Hotel and Biltmore Apartments, located at 817 West Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia, were developed by William Candler, son of Coca Cola executive Asa Candler, with Holland Ball Judkins, and John McEntee Bowman. Opening on April 19, 1924, the 11-story hotel and 10-story apartment buildings were located somewhat away from downtown Atlanta, in an area that became known as Midtown. Designed by the New York firm of Schultze and Weaver, the hotel was operated by Bowman-Biltmore Hotels.It is easily distinguished by the towering radio masts on each end of the building, with vertical illuminated letters that spell out "BILTMORE". The top floor and radio masts broadcast WSB-AM from 1925 until 1956.HistoryIn 1967 it was sold to Sheraton Hotels and became the Sheraton-Biltmore Hotel. Sheraton spent $5 million on renovations before selling the hotel in 1979 to Biltmore Hospitality Partners. The hotel continued operating independently as the Atlanta Biltmore before finally closing in 1982. The hotel was sold again in 1984 to Renaissance Investment Corporation. They planned to convert both the smaller apartment tower and the enormous hotel tower to condominiums.

The William Perrin Nicolson House is a historic house built in 1891, located on Piedmont Ave. in Midtown Atlanta, northeast of downtown. It currently operated as a bed and breakfast inn and is also known as Shellmont Inn Bed and Breakfast. The building was designated in 1989 as a historic building by the City of Atlanta, as William Perrin Nicolson House. The building was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the William P. Nicolson House.HistoryThe house was built in 1891 by William Perrin Nicolson as a wedding present for his bride, Carolyn Crane. The building was designed by regionally renowned master architect Walter T. Downing in the Eclectic Colonial Revival style. Downing designed many public buildings and churches, such as Sacred Heart Church (1877–98) but his most unusual and impressive works were his residential designs where his eclectic and individualistic style shines through.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and is a City of Atlanta Landmark Building and Site (1989). One reason for its listing is that it is now a relatively rare surviving example of W.T. Downing's residential work, being one of only five of his houses in Atlanta still extant, and it is the only one reflecting the distinctive style that he developed in his designs commissioned in the 1890s.

The Atlanta First United Methodist Church has existed for more than 160 years and is one of the oldest churches in Atlanta. The current building was constructed in 1903, and the current name was adopted in 1968. The same bell has been used in three buildings since 1850, and it is the only church bell in Atlanta that is known to have survived the American Civil War. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.HistoryIn 1845, Samuel Mitchell donated a plot of land to the Methodists for constructing a school. On alternating Sundays, different denominations would use the small log cabin for church services. In 1847, the Methodists raised $700 to build their own chapel on new land. They were the first denomination to do this in Atlanta. The new building was called Wesley Chapel and was the first to have their current bell, which cost an additional $300. It was the only church mentioned in Gone With the Wind. Many daughter churches were formed as Wesley Chapel's congregation grew. They moved to a new Gothic cathedral in 1870. In 1902, the congregation sold the property to Asa Candler, where he founded the Coca-Cola Company. The current building was built in 1903 using granite from Stone Mountain for $161,000. The current name was adopted in 1968 after the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren merged.

The Academy of Medicine in midtown Atlanta, Georgia was built in 1941 and housed the Medical Association of Atlanta until the 1970s.The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is also designated as a historic building by the City of Atlanta.ConstructionThe Academy was designed by the Atlanta architecture firm of Hentz, Adler & Shutze, with R. Kennon Perry the project architect and Philip Trammell Shutze the supervising principal. The building was intended as a meeting place for Atlanta physicians. Shutze's austerely classical design is reminiscent of the work of John Soane and Benjamin Latrobe.Recent historyBy the 1970s, the building had fallen into disrepair. The building was renovated in 1983 and is used by the public as well as the medical profession.In 2008, Atlanta Medical Heritage, Inc. donated the Academy of Medicine to the Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc. due to lack of resources to maintain the facility. The Georgia Tech Foundation accepted the gift on behalf of the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the building’s name, Academy of Medicine, must be retained. Additionally, the properties’ designation on the National Register of Historic Places, prevents the university from redeveloping the site or undergoing any improvements inconsistent with the Academy’s historical significance.

The Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans Administration Building, commonly known as Tech Tower, is a historic building and focal point of the central campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, Georgia, US.Located at 225 North Avenue NW in Midtown Atlanta, it was erected in 1888 as the Academic Building, with classrooms to complement the hands-on training in the adjacent shop building.

The Frank H. Neely Nuclear Research Center, also known as the Neely Research Reactor and the Georgia Tech Research Reactor was a nuclear engineering research center on the Georgia Institute of Technology campus, which had a live, 5 kilowatt heavy-water-cooled research reactor from 1961 until 1996. It was decommissioned in November 1999. The building that housed the reactor was demolished to make way for the Marcus Nanotechnology Research Center.The center is named for Frank H. Neely, a Georgia Tech graduate and businessman that organized the first Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission, an essential step in the creation of the reactor and associated facilities.HistoryThe center and associated reactor was built after campus president Blake R. Van Leer appointed a Nuclear Science Committee, which included Georgia Tech Research Institute director James E. Boyd.The committee recommended the creation of a Radioisotopes Laboratory Facility and a large research reactor. The laboratory was built and dedicated on January 7, 1959, and could receive, store, and process radioactive materials. The research reactor would be completed in 1963.The reactor was shut down in 1988 due to safety concerns, and was defueled due to safety concerns related to the nearby 1996 Summer Olympics events.

The Empire Manufacturing Company Building located in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia.The building was built in 1939 by the North Carolina firm of Jackson & Edney for the National Linen Service Corporation which in 1962 merged with Zep to become National Service Industries, Inc. In the late 1990s, renovation of the building was started to convert the building into loft office space as a part of the Southern Dairies Redevlopment. In February 2002 the building was added the National Register of Historic Places.

The GLG Grand building is a 186-meter tall skyscraper in Midtown Atlanta. The Art Deco-inspired, pyramid-capped tower is 53 stories tall and was finished in 1992. The bottom third of it is the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta, which includes 244 guest rooms and is the only 5-star hotel in Midtown. It is the eleventh-tallest skyscraper in Atlanta. The building was designed by Rabun Hogan Ota Rasche Architects, and built by Beers Construction of Atlanta.The GLG Grand building is notable for several reasons. First, it was Atlanta's first mixed-use skyscraper, incorporating hotel, office and condominiums into one building. Several skyscrapers of the same type are on the drawing boards, but they have yet to break ground. Second, it was a dismal failure for its developer, G. Lars Gullstedt of Sweden, who made headlines in Atlanta in 1991 by buying up huge parcels of run-down land in Midtown and proposing a massive multi-block mixed-use development to be called "GLG Park Plaza." The GLG Grand, which took its name from Gullstedt's initials, was an unrelated development of Gullstedt's on 14th Street, several blocks north. The building opened in 1992 to a depressed real estate market, and its condominiums and office space sat largely vacant. Gullstedt, who was also a developer in Sweden, was forced into bankruptcy there, and lost control of all of his Atlanta holdings including this building. Only now, in the mid-2000s, are his former Midtown parcels beginning to be developed.The hotel in the building was originally called the GLG Grand Hotel, then the Occidental Grand Hotel, before becoming the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta in the late 1990s.EducationThe building is zoned to Atlanta Public Schools Henry W.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium is an under-construction retractable-roof, multi-purpose stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, that will serve as the home of the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL) and Atlanta United FC of Major League Soccer (MLS). It is intended to replace the Georgia Dome, which has been the Falcons' home stadium since 1992. The total cost is estimated at $1.4 billion. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is scheduled to host Super Bowl LIII in 2019.Proposal timeline2010In May 2010, it was reported by multiple news outlets that the Atlanta Falcons were interested in demolishing the Georgia Dome and replacing it with a newly constructed open-air stadium. The team was pursuing a new stadium because of the team's desire to play outdoors, as well as Falcons team owner Arthur Blank's interest in hosting another Super Bowl. The stadium was also pursued as a possible bid for a venue of an upcoming FIFA World Cup.2011Kansas City-based architectural firm Populous released comprehensive plans for the proposed stadium in February 2011. Populous' early cost estimate for the project was $700 million. According to the master plan, the stadium would have a maximum capacity of 71,000, but can expand to 75,000 for special events such as the Super Bowl. It will also feature multiple club levels, suites and exhibition area.
