Description

This tour will explore the rejuvenation of Howell Station, a railroad community that began as a site of occupation during the Civil War This tour will highlight the amazing rejuvenation of Howell Station, a railroad community that began as a site of occupation during the Civil War. Examples of vernacular architecture built from c. 1900 until 1930 include gabled-L cottages, shotgun houses, and bungalows. Today, post-modern dwellings abound to add to the architectural fabric. Howell Station now sits amid burgeoning development that includes adaptive reuse of industrial buildings to the south, the Westside Park to the west and mixed-use projects in every direction. Come and learn about our rich history by joining us at M-28 Church before we proceed on a tour of homes and active construction sites. All Phoenix Flies programs adhere to current City of Atlanta health and safety guidelines. All guests, program partners, and employees must wear CDC approved masks for the duration of their visit. The Atlanta Preservation Center is the City’s private non-profit preservation organization. Founded in 1979, the Atlanta Preservation Center promotes the preservation of Atlanta's architecturally, historically and culturally significant buildings, neighborhoods and landscapes through education and advocacy. We are excited for our 19th year of Phoenix Flies, a three-week city-wide celebration of living landmarks. Created in 2003, Phoenix Flies provides an opportunity to learn about, celebrate and strengthen Atlanta’s historic and cultural assets. These events, taking place March 5-27, will be live on February 18!
