The saga for this circa-1926 three-story building on the fringes of Georgia Tech’s campus has had more twists than a season-three Walking Dead episode. Preservationists scored a victory earlier this month when Atlanta’s Board of Zoning Adjustment voted unanimously to ignore a court order that would basically green-light demolition. Tech owns the structure and wants to replace two-thirds of it with a High Performance Computing Center that could reach 27 stories. Either way, plans call for saving the structure's lovely façade, probably the most striking feature of its Italian Renaissance Revival style.

The Buckhead Heritage Society is leading the charge to save one of the last remaining single-family homes on Peachtree Road, a stately but deteriorated place that’s been offered — for free! — to anyone willing to pay the estimated $350,000 to move it. The condo association for the adjacent 2500 Peachtree building is fighting to demolish the home, citing safety concerns and a desire to expand condo grounds.

The 1947 Constitution Building downtown is a rare example of Art Moderne masonry in Atlanta, but it’s sat empty and rotting for 40 years, warding off repeated demolition threats. Plans are in the works to transform the area into a multi-modal transportation hub. It could be restored as part of those plans.

Any Braves game attendee has probably cast a puzzled gaze to this 1965 modernist structure and pondered its function. The Georgia Archives building was designed by A. Thomas Bradbury, the architect behind many government buildings around the State Capitol, to house the permanent records that constitute the state's recorded history. The building, apparently damaged by its proximity to interstates, closed when those archives were relocated to Morrow in 2003. A demolition permit was issued but action has been hamstrung by a budget shortfall.

Home to a revolving door of restaurant concepts in recent years, this award-winning circular structure opened in 1965 but suffers from awkward parking. The APC considers the Henri Jova-designed building endangered and is working to have it declared for National Register status.

Designed by noted architect Neel Reid, Brookwood Station — originally Peachtree South Railway station — is the only passenger terminal still standing in Atlanta. Amtrack operates the station and has taken steps to move its operations elsewhere around Midtown. The historic Peachtree Street property’s fate is unknown.
