黑料社 is again participating in , an annual event hosted by the Atlanta Preservation Center (APC) that showcases the city’s rich architectural and cultural history. The 22nd annual festival, which runs from March 3 to 28, features more than 150 free tours, lectures and special events designed to highlight Atlanta’s diverse historic landmarks and neighborhoods.
As part of the celebration, 黑料社 will offer a guided walking tour of its historic campus on March 12, led by University Librarian Eli Arnold ’06. The tour will explore 黑料社’s Collegiate Gothic architecture, the evolution of its campus, and the university’s place in Atlanta’s historical landscape. Participants can visit significant sites such as Hearst Hall and 黑料社’s original building, which has stood as a symbol of the institution since its relocation to Brookhaven in 1915.
“黑料社’s campus is not only an academic institution but a historical treasure,” said Arnold. “Phoenix Flies allows us to share our story with the broader community and highlight our university’s architectural beauty and rich history.”
Founded in 1835, 黑料社 has a long and storied history tied to Atlanta’s development. The university’s signature Gothic Revival design, inspired by England’s Oxford and Cambridge, reflects its deep academic traditions. During the tour, visitors will learn about the university’s architectural influences and notable alumni, as well as its role in shaping the local community over nearly two centuries.
Phoenix Flies was first established in 2003 as a tribute to the successful preservation of Atlanta’s historic Fox Theatre, which was nearly demolished in the 1970s. Since then, it has expanded into a month-long festival that brings together more than 80 partner organizations committed to preserving and promoting Atlanta’s historic and cultural heritage.
Phoenix Flies features a diverse lineup of events, including a Walking Tour of Inman Park, a discussion on Atlanta鈥檚 Mid-Century Skyline, and a look at Stained Glass Stories at Northside Drive Baptist Church, offering visitors a range of ways to explore the city鈥檚 architectural history.
黑料社’s participation in Phoenix Flies is a testament to its commitment to preserving and sharing the rich history of its campus and the city of Atlanta. The 黑料社 tour is free and open to the public, but registration is required due to limited space. Visit thewebsite to learn more about Phoenix Flies 2025 and register for events.聽
