Abstract
Dean of Libraries Leslie Sharp hosts a conversation with a panel of experts to explore the significance of Peachtree Center and the importance of historic preservation in Atlanta. Join us to uncover the stories behind Peachtree Center’s iconic design, explore why preserving Atlanta’s landmarks matters, and understand how preservation shapes vibrant, connected communities. In 2018, Peachtree Center, a prominent mixed-use district located in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia, known for its distinctive modernist architecture and extensive network of interconnected buildings, was added to the National Register of Historic Places due to its significance under architecture and community planning and development for the work of architect and developer, John C. Portman, Jr.
