Atlanta, Georgia was produced by the National Park Service,
U.S. Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Southeast
Regional Office, the Atlanta History Center, the Historic Preservation
Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the
National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO).
It was created under the direction of Carol D. Shull, Keeper of
the National Register of Historic Places, National Park Service,
Patrick Andrus, Heritage Tourism Manager, and Beth L. Savage, Publications
Managing Editor. Atlanta, Georgia is based on information
in the files of the National Register of Historic Places and National
Historic Landmarks collections. These materials are kept at 1201
Eye St., NW, Washington, D.C., and are open to the public from 8:00am
to 12:00pm and 1:00pm to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday (although
the collection is currently closed, click
here for more information).
The National Park Service's Southeast Regional Office (SERO) proposed
this project. National Register web production team members included
Jeff Joeckel, who designed the itinerary, Rustin Quaide, and Shannon
Bell (all of NCSHPO). Yen M. Tang (National Council for Preservation
Education intern) was instrumental in compiling material for this
project, including maps, photographs and text. Property descriptions
were written by Yen Tang, Shannon Bell, Rustin Quaide, Andrew Halter,
and Mark Barnes (SERO). Jody Cook, Architectural Historian with
the SERO, provided invaluable historic postcards, color photographs,
and editorial assistance. Essays were written by Andy Ambrose, Karen
Leathem and Charles Smith of the Atlanta History Center (Antebellum
Atlanta); Tommy Jones, Architectural Historian, SERO (Industrial
Atlanta and Growth and Preservation); and Yen Tang and
Rustin Quaide (African American Experience). Special thanks
