Academy Lofts in Atlanta.

The historic building is the 2022 recipient of the Marguerite Williams Award, the Trust’s highest honor, for its impact on preservation in the state. Built in 1912 and serving as the George W. Adair Elementary School until the 1970s, the building has been rehabilitated to include affordable housing and market rate apartment units in addition to retail and office spaces. Academy Lofts was recognized for the creative combined use of tax credits and grants, re-establishing the building’s role as a thriving center of community activity with this rehabilitation. #atlantaga #historicpreservation #architecture #savingplaces #atlantahistory
