Board of Zoning: Demolition of Randolph-Lucas House

Located at the intersection of Peachtree Road and Lindbergh Drive, the Randolph-Lucas House is an elegant Georgian style building, which was designed by P. Thornton Marye in 1924.

The 2500 Peachtree Condominium Association has applied for a demolition permit from the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings for the historic Randolph-Lucas House. The Condo Association claims that the building is unsafe and is an imminent threat to public safety. However, the Office of Buildings concluded upon inspection that the building is structurally sound and not in a condition that endangers the public.

Because of its findings, the Office of Buildings has informed the applicant that the Atlanta Urban Design Commission must review and comment on the demolition request since the house is designated a Historic Building under the City of Atlanta's Historic Preservation Ordinance. The Condominium Association is appealing the decision of the Office of Buildings.

The issue will be reviewed at the following meetings.  Please plan on attending:
