I call it the Octane Coffee District and I have a secret parking spot when it's busy over there. I take 8th street down from the Marietta Street ridge and park on Fiedler Avenue next to this nondescript little church building. (Note to self: Didn't I just blog a
Neel Reid Mansion?)
Last week I peeked inside.
In the Brady-10th-Northside triangle of flattop warehouses this little gabled shotgun with stained glass is the "difference" that I often find irresistible.
Those magnolias were probably perfect for about 5 years then got too expensive to take down.
Where to park: Fielder Avenue.There's the Architecture Tourist-mobile.

I don't know about Christ Church Midtown, but in 2013 the House of Prayer Pentecostal Holiness Church sold it to a developer (a) "...recognized and respected leader of urban development in Atlanta, Georgia - focusing on the revitalization of under-utilized areas and transforming them into vibrant neighborhoods."
So it awaits mixed use-ification. Lot: 6,050 sf / 0.1389 acres, built 1955 3,360 sf.

My father's advice was that if you keep the grass mowed, it'll be fine. No foundation planting, no problem, no pesky pruning either.
Not fixing these.

Windows in fair shape over here. Are there dedications and memorials on these windows?
Last week the sun was shining just right and I realized I could hold my camera over my head to see inside the front windows.
Thanks,
