Crum and Forster Building Granted Landmark Status


Written on August 27, 2009 at 11:22 am, by Lain

The Crum and Forster building has been granted Landmark status by Mayor Franklin, says Maria Saporta.  Franklin’s signature follows a unanimous vote by the Atlanta City Council to preserve the building as a city landmark.

Wahoo!

The Georgia Tech Foundation is appealing the decision to deny a demolition permit and may also appeal this decision, which must be heartening to Georgia Tech architects the world over.  That said, it’s still a major victory for the building, the neighborhood, and historic preservation in Atlanta.

Preservation in Atlanta: 14!  Demolition in Atlanta: 36,871
