A City-Wide Celebration of Living Landmarks
www.PreserveAtlanta.com
February 2012
Dear Friends of The Phoenix Flies,
Every great city is distinguished by a unique and positive sense of place.
When I say great city, I’m not merely talking about a large landmass or
a populous area. I am thinking of the city in a classical sense, wherein it
provides an environment which maximizes the potential and quality of
life of its citizens. In such a case the sense of place is usually an amalgam
of the sense of places – a phenomenon within the city where purposeful
activities combine with a distinct built environment that creates a unique
character.
Atlanta has the potential to be, and in some respects is, such a place. We
are fortunate not only in having so much historic fabric to represent our
particular past but also to have so much vital activity which has included
that fabric in an interesting and purposeful present. This year’s Phoenix
Flies has many examples of this. We see this continuing to develop at
the former Sears Building/City Hall East/Ponce City Market, White
Provision and the Wrecking Bar, among others. While this kind of creative
solution to city development may not be part of our official process, it
has nonetheless given us some of the most interesting and enjoyable
environments within Atlanta. These places are the destinations that we
find within our own neighborhoods and the places that we seek out when
we go to other parts of our City.
The Atlanta Preservation Center celebrates all those who work towards
making Atlanta a great city by valuing its past. We hope you will find
value in and enjoy their efforts in this year’s Phoenix Flies: A City-Wide
Celebration of Living Landmarks.
F.H. Boyd Coons, Executive Director
Atlanta Preservation Center
About The Phoenix Flies
T
he phoenix is a mythical, flying creature that is born from the ashes
of its own incineration. Like this powerful creature, so too was
Atlanta reborn from her ashes. The phoenix has been a part of
Atlanta’s seal and has served as her symbol since 1887. In creating
a celebration of Atlanta’s living historic fabric, The Atlanta Preservation Center
again looked to this magical creature.
The Phoenix Flies: A City-Wide Celebration of Living Landmarks 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 outlook forever. Since that time the celebration has won an Award of
Excellence from the Atlanta Urban Design Commission, a Preservation Award
from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, presented over 1,100 events
and provided a better understanding of Atlanta’s rich heritage to over 20,000
individuals.
This year we are bringing you more events at more sites because even we are
continually learning about the resources Atlanta is privileged to have. Whether it
is a cemetery (see Utoy Cemetery, page 32) or a firehouse (see Firehouse 19, page
10), these beautiful places inspire us with their valuable stories. This inspiration
leads us to several additions for the 2012 Celebration. Performing and visual arts
have always been a part of Phoenix Flies and this year APC has encouraged and
commissioned exhibitions and performance to bring to light how preservation
is a part, directly or indirectly, of art forms beyond architecture such as music,
poetry and dance.
The Phoenix Flies could not be accomplished alone. The Phoenix Flies is a
collaborative effort brought to the public through Preservation Partners. Preservation Partners are individual organizations in the City that have taken on the
mission of improving the City’s character and quality of life through historic
preservation. They are brought together by The Atlanta Preservation Center and
presented to you via The Phoenix Flies, creating a period of time in our great
City when our rich assets are celebrated and strengthened to the benefit of all.
The Phoenix Flies is an annual program of The Atlanta Preservation Center.
If you know of a place that needs to be celebrated, please contact us so that we
may consider including it in next year’s celebration.
Please visit www.PreserveAtlanta.com for additional events and updated information.
All events are subject to change or cancellation without notice. All events are attended at the risk of the
attendee. Some events require reservations.
The Atlanta Preservation Center
was formed in 1979 and set out on its
mission to support the preservation of
Atlanta’s architecturally, historically and
culturally significant buildings, neighborhoods and landscapes through education
and advocacy. In its 33-year history, The
Atlanta Preservation Center has continued
to be an important leader in Atlanta, ensuring that the City’s heritage is preserved and
honored.
Through rigorous advocacy work, The Atlanta Preservation Center has
played a role in preserving many sites throughout the City and assisted with
the national and local designation of many of Atlanta’s historic neighborhoods. The Center’s advocacy came full circle with the purchase of the 1856
LP Grant Mansion, a site long considered among Atlanta’s most endangered
landmarks that now houses APC’s headquarters and continues to undergo
restoration.
Through its Heritage Education Programs, The Atlanta Preservation Center provides thoughtful education about preservation. With Box City’s® award
winning curriculum, youth create their own cities thereby learning civics, art,
architecture, history, social studies and, of course, the importance of historic
preservation. APC’s well-developed Guided Walking Tour program provides
insight into Atlanta’s historic resources for both adults and youth.

grey church” was built atop the hill at Andrews

1955. The grand Cathedral replaced the “little
grey church” in 1962 and it was consecrated in
1980.

photographers – Chris Carder, John Paul Floyd, Jill Frank,

of specific buildings and the relationship history has with
how the artists imagine the future of Atlanta.
The Atlanta Preservation Center is located at 327 St. Paul Ave SE, 30307.
