The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation today released the 20th edition of its closely watched 10 Places in Peril list, and two of those places are in metro Atlanta this year.
One of them—an architecturally significant, nearly century-old former substation building in the shadow of downtown skyscrapers—is facing threats of demolition for surface parking.
Situated just east of revitalized Hurt Park, the 148 Edgewood Ave. structure was built in 1926 as a Georgia Railway and Power Company substation and “played a crucial role in powering downtown Atlanta,” according to the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation’s recap.
It’s part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Register District, which the statewide preservation organization also considers threatened.

The Edgewood Avenue building was purchased in 1966 by Georgia State University, which has recently proposed demolishing it to clear space for a surface parking lot. A demolition permit has been signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, according to the Places in Peril list.
Downtown residents and Atlanta preservationists spoke out in opposition to demolition plans last fall, circulation a petition that now has more than 1,000 signatures.
Though the building is a contributing structure in the historic district, GSU and the state’s Board of Regents have sovereign immunity “over the City of Atlanta’s zoning ordinances that would otherwise protect the building from needless demolition,” reads the petition. (Find more images of 148 Edgewood Ave. in the gallery above.)

For 20 years, the Places in Peril shortlist has aimed to spotlight significant cultural, historic, and archaeological resources across Georgia threatened by neglect, demolition, bad public policy, and inappropriate development.
Also making the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation’s cut this year is a unique museum facility dedicated to transportation in Gwinnett County.

Duluth’s Southeastern Railway Museum, spread across 35 acres, includes a “remarkable collection of rolling stock” that showcases Georgia history (see: the retired MARTA train cars on site) and helps tell the story of transportation in America. Notable railcars in the museum’s collection include the 1911 Pullman Superb (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) and President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Marco Polo.
“The museum thrives on a small staff and a team of dedicated volunteers,” noted preservation officials. “However, with over 90 pieces of historic rolling stock, the museum is limited in its capacity to restore and care for the whole collection.”

The eight other sites on the 2025 Places in Peril list are:

Bob’s Furniture to Take Over 6 NC Bed, Bath & Beyond Locations
Bob’s Furniture to Take Over 6 NC Bed, Bath & Beyond Locations
Filling up the 900 shuttered Bed, Bath and Beyond stores will take some time. One retailer is doing its best to fill the void. Bob’s Discount Furniture will open a store this summer in Winston-Salem at 1020 Hanes Mall Boulevard. The Triad Business Journal reports Bob’s signed a 10-year lease earlier this month for 37,340 square feet in Hanes Point Shopping Center. The company will spend $500,000 on the renovations.
The retailer will also open five other North Carolina locations in former Bed Bath & Beyond stores in Durham, Cary, Fayetteville, Wilmington and Jacksonville.
The stores in North Carolina will be serviced by Bob’s existing distribution center infrastructure and third-party delivery relationships. Bob’s Discount Furniture has just under 200 stores across the nation, concentrated in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and West Coast regions. The closest store to North Carolina is in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Recent years have seen blocks around mixed-use district Pullman Yards spring to life with condos and townhome projects both for-sale and not. It appears that trend is set to continue.
A 44-unit townhome development is in the works for a 206 Rogers St. property at the doorstep of Pullman Yards, across the street from its AlcoHall drinks and events concept and restaurants Fishmonger and Brick and Mortar.
According to filings recently made with Atlanta’s Department of City Planning, the townhome project would include nine buildings total, with some live-work units.
A review process for the townhome proposal is ongoing, according to the city.
Overview of the roughly 3 acres where townhomes are proposed at 206 Rogers St. NE. Google Maps
The townhomes would replace a longstanding, adaptive-reuse complex called The Warehouse Lofts, which has been home to residential units, furniture makers, artisans, a commercial photography studio, and other uses over the years.
According to property managers Atlanta Loft Source, The Warehouse building was converted from industrial uses to lofts in 1986, marking one of the first conversions of its kind in the city.
The roughly 3-acre property is situated just south of DeKalb Avenue, near Kirkwood’s western border with Edgewood.

We’ve reached out to development officials for more information on the townhome proposal, including information on a potential construction schedule and site plans. This story will be update if further details come.

Could the end of WFH flexibility for thousands of metro Atlantans spell good things for downtown businesses, new developments, and MARTA? Will it spur lasting vibrancy on some of the city’s oldest streets? Is traffic Armageddon coming?
Those are among the unanswered questions swirling as a new post-pandemic era appears to be dawning downtown, with President Donald Trump mandating that federal agencies return employees to the office full-time, beginning this week.
In response, MARTA has issued a message to reborn intown commuters and downtown workers forced to leave hybrid work behind: Leave the driving to us.
The transit agency issued alternate-transportation tips and reminders today for workers trying to reach destinations such as the Richard B. Russell federal building, which stands near two of Atlanta’s most extensive redevelopment projects, Centennial Yards and Atlanta Ventures’ South Downtown. Both projects have debuted fresh retail offerings—comfort Thai food, coffee, and a brewery among them—since COVID-19 shuttered federal offices.
MARTA predicts Trump’s mandate will translate to more congestion from single-occupancy vehicles on Atlanta streets and downtown parking becoming more expensive and scarce.
As the AJC notes, downtown Atlanta counts one of the largest supplies of federal office buildings in the country—workplaces for thousands of government employees—outside of Washington D.C.
“It can be difficult to get back into the habit of going into the office five days a week—it’s been an adjustment for many of us,” Collie Greenwood, MARTA general manager and CEO, noted in today’s announcement. “So, let MARTA drive, and you can listen to music or scroll on your phone during your commute and not have the added stress of traffic and parking.”
Shutterstock
As MARTA officials relay, Five Points station is the most convenient connection to downtown federal office buildings. It provides direct access to the Richard B. Russell building via a tunnel.
Five Points is also the connecting point for all four MARTA rail lines and these 10 bus routes, as the transit agency notes:
Route 3 – Martin Luther King Jr Dr/Auburn Ave
Route 26 – Marietta Street / Perry Boulevard
Route 40 – Peachtree Street / Downtown
Route 49 – McDonough Boulevard
Route 186 – Rainbow Drive / South DeKalb
Route 816 – North Highland Avenue
Route 813 – Atlanta University Center
For the uninitiated, the following rail stations also serve downtown (and lest we forget the Atlanta Streetcar as well) ——>

Could the end of WFH flexibility for thousands of metro Atlantans spell good things for downtown businesses, new developments, and MARTA? Will it spur lasting vibrancy on some of the city’s oldest streets? Is traffic Armageddon coming? Those are among the unanswered questions swirling as a new post-pandemic era appears to be dawning downtown, with President Donald Trump mandating that federal agencies return employees to the office full-time, beginning this week. In response, MARTA has issued a message to reborn intown commuters and downtown workers forced to leave hybrid work behind: Leave the driving to us. The transit agency issued alternate-transportation tips and reminders today for workers trying to reach destinations such as the Richard B. Russell federal building, which stands near two of Atlanta’s most extensive redevelopment projects, Centennial Yards and Atlanta Ventures’ South Downtown. Both projects have debuted fresh retail offerings—comfort Thai food, coffee, and a brewery among them—since COVID-19 shuttered federal offices. MARTA predicts Trump’s mandate will translate to more congestion from single-occupancy vehicles on Atlanta streets and downtown parking becoming more expensive and scarce. As the AJC notes, downtown Atlanta counts one of the largest supplies of federal office buildings in the country—workplaces for thousands of government employees—outside of Washington D.C. “It can be difficult to get back into the habit of going into the office five days a week—it’s been an adjustment for many of us,” Collie Greenwood, MARTA general manager and CEO, noted in today’s announcement. “So, let MARTA drive, and you can listen to music or scroll on your phone during your commute and not have the added stress of traffic and parking.”

As MARTA officials relay, Five Points station is the most convenient connection to downtown federal office buildings. It provides direct access to the Richard B. Russell building via a tunnel. Five Points is also the connecting point for all four MARTA rail lines and these 10 bus routes, as the transit agency notes:Route 3 – Martin Luther King Jr Dr/Auburn AveRoute 21 – Memorial DriveRoute 26 – Marietta Street / Perry BoulevardRoute 40 – Peachtree Street / DowntownRoute 42 – Pryor RoadRoute 49 – McDonough BoulevardRoute 55 – Jonesboro RoadRoute 186 – Rainbow Drive / South DeKalbRoute 816 – North Highland AvenueRoute 813 – Atlanta University CenterFor the uninitiated, the following rail stations also serve downtown (and lest we forget the Atlanta Streetcar as well) ——>Peachtree CenterGeorgia StateGarnettGWCC/CNN Center…Follow us on social media: Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram • Downtown news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta)
