Atlanta Preservation Center Drove through Morningside on Rock Springs today. Carmate asked: "What is the history behind this neighborhood? How old is it? All the houses have triangular points on them. What are those architectural elements?" Please help. Do you know the answers?

Atlanta Preservation Center This FB Page is dedicated to Atlanta, but lovers of history and architecture can find much to appreciate throughout the world. I recently visited Vancouver, and stumbled upon the 1930 Marine Blg and its amazing exterior. Incredible detail of aquatic scenes, nautical exploration and trade, wildlife, and modes of trans...portation. See these pics and links to this Art Deco delight. Please share photos of historic buildings, homes, landscapes, and neighborhoods from your travels.
Atlanta Preservation Center Spare cash anyone? One of Atlanta's oldest gems is for sale.
