I love the beautiful Art Deco facade of this building at 75 John Wesley Dobbs Ave in Downtown Atlanta!

According to Easements Atlanta (the non-profit that preserves the facade), it was built in 1930 by architect G. Lloyd Preacher for the Freeman Ford car dealership, and got converted to residential apartments with ground level retail in 1996. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

A car dealership was converted to homes! Very cool.

I love walking past this place and spotting signs of life! This old church building on the northeast edge of Downtown was purchased and converted to Revival Lofts a few years ago. Seeing lights in windows that used to be dark at night is wonderful.
