Buckhead Library saved
The Buckhead Library will not be demolished.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted today to reject developer Ben Carter’s $24 million offer to buy the library, according to Stacy Wyman, an architect at Perkins + Will who was at the commission meeting.
Carter’s offer to buy the modern architectural mini-gem, demolish it, and use the land as part of a luxury mixed-used development sparked a public outcry in the form of the SaveTheLibrary.blogspot.com.
As far as I know, no similarly prominent pro-demolition movement has emerged. We’re keeping an eye on www.moreluxurycondosinbuckheadnowplease.com and will keep you up-to-date on any developments.
Speaking of stupid domain names, can you believe no one had www.turbanlegend.com until I bought it last night?
I have no idea what I’m going to do with it, but I’m still happy to have it.
