"Rumor that this was a Reid design proved correct. First Occupied in 1923." - J. Neel Reid: Architect of Hentz, Reid and Adler and the Georgia School of Classicists by William R. Mitchell.
If you've lived in Atlanta long enough and frequent midtown, you might have caught this out of the corner of your eye.
Which one doesn't belong? Each floor had two, 2 bedroom apartments. This shows the three east side apartments.
Good grief. Sickening.

DeleteI lived in that top floor, east apartment, in the mid 80's. It was such a wonderful building- butler's pantries, dental sinks, beautiful floors and huge rooms. The grand entry was enough to make the building spectacular. This breaks my heart- Neel Reid was a genius- I still have the book "The Architecture of Neel Reid".
