Buckhead Modern Resources
1940-1990
1940-1990
The Buckhead Heritage Society has been working on an Interpretive Master Plan, which
will make recommendations for integrating historic interpretation into the community
through physical design, signage and digital media tools. Interpretation not only gives
credit to the notable individuals and historical events that have shaped the development
of the community. It also considers how the built environment tells the story of key
milestones in the community. Peachtree Road runs through the heart of Buckhead. Over
time, it has become a thriving, vibrant corridor for commercial and business interests. As
these businesses grew, many notable architects were commissioned to bring the newest
architectural developments to the area.
This survey focuses on buildings constructed between 1940 and 1990. Particularly after
World War II, Atlanta was moving away from the classical architectural influence that had
dominated much of its history. During this time, Atlanta was positioning itself to become a
city of national prominence, and would later continue a step further to define itself as an
international city. The ambitious 1952 annexation which brought the Buckhead area into
the city included over 50,000 acres of land and added approximately 100,000 new residents
– by far the largest annexation in its history, tripling the size of the city. The new modern
architecture along Peachtree reflected the ambition of the age.
Notable architectural firms contributed to the new Modern look of Peachtree, including
Stevens and Wilkinson, Ted Levy, Tucker and Howell, and Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart,
Stewart and Associates. Though a satisfactory architectural vocabulary for Modern
architecture in Atlanta is still evolving, it is a fair claim that many elements of the most
prominent modern styles are clearly displayed on the corridor, including International, New
Formalism, and Late Modern.
As a final note on the need for attention and appreciation of this time period, during the
several months that this survey was researched and compiled, several mid-century modern
structures were lost to demolition, including the building at the intersection of Peachtree
and 25th Street, as well as the building at the intersection of Peachtree and Club Drive. E.
Rivers School was demolished just prior to the survey. This school (1949) was designed
by Stevens and Wilkinson, received an award for architectural design and was featured in
Time Magazine. It was deemed to be the precedent for a new style of building for public
elementary schools in the state of Georgia.
Many thanks to Erica Danylchak, Executive Director of the Buckhead Heritage Society, Dr.
Robert Craig, Professor Emeritus, Georgia Tech College of Architecture, for the invaluable
information on the architects and builders of many of these structures, and George Rounds,
former ARC intern, for numerous hours of research and walking the entire length of both
sides of Peachtree Road to document structures.
