The Phoenix Flies Again On March 7-22, 2015
This year’s Phoenix Flies Celebration will run from March 7-22, 2015. We are pleased to announce that the Phoenix Flies program will
be available online this year, in addition to being mailed to you. When the program is made available an e-blast will be sent with a link to
the program and information. All current APC members will have until March 2 to secure their reservations before the we will begin accepting reservations from non-members.
We are excited to welcome several new partners and events into the lineup for this year’s Celebration. Some of our new partners include
All Saint’s Episcopal Church, WERD Radio, the Madame Museum, the Trolley Barn, and the popular blog, HistoryAtlanta.com. Our
new events include the debut of a Westview Cemetery tour. Like its east Atlanta neighbor, Oakland Cemetery, many distinguished Atlantans (including our own Lemuel Pratt Grant) are interred at this historic site.
Watch our website (http://www.atlantapreservationcenter.com/2015_phoenix_flies) and your email inboxes for updates on the 2015 Celebration. Remember, an important benefit of APC membership is that members receive the Phoenix Flies Program of Events before the
public announcement. Join or renew online or call us at (404) 688-3353 to make sure your membership is current.
Preservation in Action: YOU Can Help Make A Difference!
The Erskine Memorial Fountain

city of Atlanta’s
first public fountain. Given to the
city in 1896 by Ruby Ward as a tribute to her late father Judge John

continual and extreme neglect by generations of Atlanta’s citizenry and government.
The Erskine Memorial Fountain and the accompanying bench
were designed by John Massey Rhind, an accomplished ScottishAmerican sculptor. Originally installed at the intersection of
Peachtree and West Peachtree Streets, the fountain was moved in
1912 to its current location at the intersections of Cherokee Avenue and Ormond Street in the Grant Park neighborhood.
The Erskine Foundation Fund is comprised of civic-minded individuals and organizations including the Atlanta Preservation Center, M.H. Mitchell Inc., Grant Park Conservancy and History Atlanta. All work will be completed in compliance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Atlanta and
the Grant Park Conservancy. This project seeks to restore the Erskine Memorial Fountain by replacing missing pieces of the metal
fountain and restoring it to a working state. Further, it will improve
the surrounding elements including the marble bench, granite entryway walls, the historic Grant Park overlook, and the surrounding
surface areas.
On April 18th an Erskine Fountain fundraiser will be held at the
Grant Mansion to inaugurate the Fountain’s preservation effort.
See page 7 for details.
The Atlanta and Edgewood Street Railroad
Company was incorporated in 1886 as the
first electric street railway in Atlanta and the
first financially successful electric line in the
nation. The (Inman
Park) Trolley Barn
Inman Park Trolley Barn
opened in August
1889 to service and house the streetcars which ran from Inman
Park to the Hurt Building downtown.
From 1907 until the mid-1970s, The Barn had a myriad of uses
including a church, farmers market, and antique storage and
repair. A group of Inman Park neighbors decided that the dilapidated eyesore was worth saving and convinced the City of Atlanta to purchase it. The City then leased The Barn to the newly
formed Atlanta and Edgewood Street Railway Company, charging the non-profit corporation with the facility’s restoration and
management. The building opened as a special event facility on
March 23, 1987.
The Barn is a symbol of the spirit of the residents of Inman
Park: their commitment to historic preservation and their willingness to take up the challenge of restoration and management
of The Barn for the benefit of the community.
The AESRC is now raising funds to purchase the property from
the City in order to keep it as a neighborhood asset. The APC
has made a contribution in support of this effort. Please help
with your tax deductible contributions.
Contributions can be sent to The Trolley Barn at 963 Edgewood Avenue NE, Atlanta 30307 or through

Preservation in Action: Advocacy Updates
LANE’S END
Lane’s End, the Buckhead home of the Gerry Hull family, has begun reconstruction following a devastating fire
in April 2014. The
whitewashed brick
Lane’s End reconstruction in progress
home, circa 1924, was
designed by J. Neel Reid and originally built for Mr.
and Mrs. Cam D. Dorsey. It was named “Lane’s End”
for the 350 foot shrubbery-lined lane that obscured a
visitor’s view of the home until the road ended.
Following the fire, the homeowners vowed to rebuild.
They have now begun construction and are rebuilding
utilizing Reid’s original plans.
APC is very excited by the precedent demonstrated by
this adaptive reuse project, which the National Trust for
Historic Preservation noted as one of five preservation
wins for 2014.

APC Lights Up the Night With An Incendiary Evening
APC’s annual
fundraiser set
the City ablaze
with enthusiasm for historic
preservation.
The October
2nd gala welcomed members at the $125

special Preserved on Glass exhibition while enjoying
classical guitar serenades and the culinary presentations
of Jerry Dilts & Associates Catering.
Lady, Inc. donated beautiful
floral centerpieces and table
arrangements
that echoed the
fiery theme.
The theme for the evening, An Incendiary Evening, was
in recognition of the Sesquicentennial of the Battle of
Atlanta and subsequent burning of the City. The Grant
Mansion sparkled with candlelight as candelabra and
hurricane lanterns festooned tabletops, fireplace mantles,
porches and walkways. Susan Massar of The Flower
The Atlanta Preservation Center staff thanks all attendees and sponsors for their generous support.
Special thanks also goes to Trustee Barbara Slick who
donated her time in preparing for the event and the beverages enjoyed during the evening. We look forward to
celebrating again in 2015!
Guests wandered onto the
porches and enjoyed the warm evening air as savory
notes of fried green tomatoes wafted from the popular
back porch attraction. Watching the talented Dilts staff
assemble these delicious treats was entertainment itself.
National Main Street Conference
On March 30-April 2, APC will be participating in the National Main Street Conference.
This annual conference, hosted by the National Main Street Centre (a subsidiary of the National Historic Trust for Historic Preservation),
provides a learning and networking opportunity for communities and professionals to discover the Main Street Approach™ to historic
preservation and revitalization of communities.
This year’s theme is TEAM: Teamwork and
Entrepreneurship Across Main Street. The
conference will discuss opportunities to work
with and support entrepreneurs to ensure sustainable and exciting downtown redevelopment. Using Georgia as a living laboratory, participants will look at ways to support rural, suburban, and rural districts through creative
economies, technology, and small business development. APC will be providing several of
the educational tours offered to participants,
including Historic Downtown, Sweet Auburn,
Ansley Park, and Inman Park.
