Reid House: Atlanta's Finest Apartment Building - Book Launch and Signing

Overview

Dr. Stuart Noel will be signing copies of his latest book, Reid House: Atlanta's Finest Apartment Building.

Reid House, originally Garrison Luxury Apartments, located at the border of stately Ansley Park and Midtown Atlanta, is significant for its Georgian Revival architectural style designed by the noted Atlanta architects Philip Trammell Shutze and Neel Reid of the architectural firm Hentz, Reid, and Adler.

Its history provides insight into the development of Atlanta in the 1920’s. The building has been home to socialites, bohemians, artists, and business tycoons. Some former and current residents’ recognizable Atlanta surnames include Alston, Candler, Dewberry, Dorsey, Hardin, Inman, Lanier, Spalding, and Woodruff. Reid House is situated across from the High Museum of Art at the corner of 16th Street and Peachtree Street, known as “Atlanta’s Park Avenue.”

Today the building retains its original purpose for which it was designed in 1924 – a luxury apartment dwelling. Each decade tells an interesting story of its socially prominent, eccentric, and fascinating residents that reflects the artistic, stylish, and cultural history of Atlanta.
