The Trio Laundry Dry Cleaning Building, built in 1910, is a contributing structure in both the local Martin Luther King Jr. Landmark District and the National Registers’ Martin Luther King Jr. Historic District. In June 2014, AHA applied for a demolition permit which was issued by the city in August 2014. Thanks to the efforts of local preservationist, including the APC, demolition was averted. The Atlanta Preservation Center is advocating for the adaptive reuse of the building to contribute to the community.
While the focus of APS is on building and rehabilitating schools for educational purposes, school buildings are important to the history of their community and Atlanta. Schools are often the center of activity in communities and play a prominent role in the daily life and history of a community. Many were designed by the top architects of their time.
