Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the Easements Atlanta team, Kimberly D., our Stewardship Intern for 2025-2026!Kimberly graduated from UGA with a BSA in Hospitality and Food Industry Managment, and has just begun her graduate studies in the @gsu_mhp program. Kimberly will primarily be conducting the annual inspections of our easement properties- one of our most important responsibilities. During orientation several weeks ago, Kimberly and Sarah hit the road for inspections at the William Oliver and Freeman Ford buildings, where Kimberly began learning about inspection protocols and issues common to historic buildings such as sagging lintels and mortar recession. After nearly two months with us, Kimberly remains excited about her role with EA, saying, “ Historic preservation is such a wide field - I am excited to dive deeper into the world of easements and learn real world applications to what I learn in the classroom.”Welcome Kimberly! 🎉 ...

With a new school year underway, this is a great time to highlight the former school buildings in our portfolio. Four were successfully converted to multi-family residences back in the 1980s and 1990s and now provide some of the most unique living spaces in town. One continues to serve in an academic setting. All are protected by a preservation easement that ensures that the historic character of the building is preserved. 📸1, 2: Schoolhouse Lofts/1892/Inman Park Schoolhouse3, 4: Kirkwood Lofts/1906, 1922/24, 1950, 1964/Kirkwood School5, 6: Roosevelt Apartments/1922/Girls High School/(1947) Roosevelt High School(Come tour with us next March for Phoenix Flies- stay tuned for more info)7, 8: Bass Lofts/1922/Bass Junior High, (1947) Bass High School 9, 10: Graves Hall/1889/Morehouse College#preservationeasements #ConservationEasements#atlantahistory#UrbanHistory#historicpreservation#adaptivereuse#schoolrehabilitation ...

Big congratulations to Liam Cochran, our 2024-2025 Graduate Research Assistant, as he completes his Master of Heritage Preservation!It was great to kick off Preservation Month last week with a visit to see Liam and his classmates present their capstone projects @gsu_mhp in a poster session. As a next gen preservationist, Liam’s project, “More Ranch, Please,” was a comprehensive Historic Resource Survey of Tryon Forest, a 1960s subdivision of intact ranch houses in southwest Atlanta. This past year, Liam was an integral member of our Stewardship team who conducted 45+ property inspections, labeled all of the photos, and drafted letters to our property owners with this year’s findings. As a small preservation non-profit, Easements Atlanta is grateful for Liam’s commitment to our mission and the technical insight he provided. Best of luck, Liam, in your preservation career and thank you for your contributions to Easements Atlanta!#preservationeasements #preservationstewardship#georgiastateuniversity#historicpreservation#preservationinternship#graduateresearchassistant ...
