MARCH 10- 24 ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER: PHOENIX FLIES

In 1978 the dramatic rescue of the Fox Theatre changed Atlanta's attitude toward its historic buildings and became the inspiration to save more of Atlanta's historic structures, neighborhoods and sites. In 2003, as part of The Atlanta Preservation Center's 25th anniversary celebration of saving the Fox, we recognized the City's other historic attractions with our ground-breaking event, The Phoenix Flies: A Citywide Celebration of Living Landmarks. In 2004 The Phoenix Flies received an Award of Excellence from the Atlanta Urban Design Commission and a Preservation Award from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation for its contribution to promoting the City’s heritage.

Designed to show the extent to which preservation is part of Atlanta’s fabric, The Phoenix Flies brings together a community of Preservation Partners, each independent and charged with a separate mission but sharing a common purpose in contributing to the City’s character and quality of life. Named after the mythical bird that consumed itself by fire and rose renewed from the ashes as Atlanta did after the Civil War. It has been a symbol of the City of Atlanta and featured on the City seal since 1887. Our role as a preservation center is to work for the benefit not only of our own mission but also for the success of our community partners. Where any one of us succeeds, the City is enhanced and everyone wins.

To become a Preservation Partner, please contact the Atlanta Preservation Center at (404) 688-3353 or phoenixflies@preserveatlanta.com. Participation is free.
