The Colonnades
The Colonnades

The Colonnades are condominium buildings at 734–746 North Highland Avenue in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. They are a contributing property to the Virginia-Highland Historic District, registered on the National Register of Historic Places.The complex consists of two three-story buildings with 12 apartments each. The American Institute of Architects' guide to Atlanta architecture states that they are one of the best examples of garden apartment in Atlanta: Two structures perpendicular to North Highland Avenue, frame a hansomely landscaped courtyard with Mediterranean-style shrubbery. An Italianate flavor is further enhanced by the tiles of the boldly projecting decorative roofs and the stucco of the attic, pierced with smaller openings than the two floors below Furthermore, the AIA notes the complex's eponymous overscaled white columns which contrast prominently against the red brick background. It characterizes some elements as prescient of postmodern architecture, such as the broken pediments enhancing the raised doorways and the brick and terra-cotta frame of the square openings. In 1916, Lucian Lamar Knight inherited land near Ponce de Leon Avenue and St. Charles Ave. and subdivided it. On two adjacent lots he built the Colonnades at a cost of $75,000. Knight was a historian, prominent journalist and literary editor for the Atlanta Constitution, as well as founder and first director or the Georgia Archives.

Poncey–Highland
Poncey–Highland

Poncey–Highland is an intown neighborhood on the east side of Atlanta, Georgia, located south of Virginia–Highland. It is so named because it is near the intersection of east/west Ponce de Leon Avenue and north/southwest North Highland Avenue. This Atlanta neighborhood was established between 1905 and 1930, and is bordered by Druid Hills and Candler Park across Moreland Avenue to the east, the Old Fourth Ward across the BeltLine Eastside Trail to the west, Inman Park across the eastern branch of Freedom Parkway to the south, and Virginia Highland to the north across Ponce de Leon Avenue. The Little Five Points area sits on the border of Poncey–Highland, Inman Park, and Candler Park. Poncey–Highland is home to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, established in 1982. The Carter Center occupies an area of land that was originally the neighborhood of Copenhill, and which was razed to build an interchange between eight-lane highways: Interstate 485 (now Stone Mountain Freeway) east and west, and Georgia 400 and Interstate 675 north and south. The development was successfully stopped by the surrounding neighborhoods, leaving Freedom Parkway in the area where GDOT had already demolished over 500 homes. Poncey–Highland has numerous historic buildings, including: • Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant (c. 1916) • Western Electric Company building at 820 Ralph McGill • Briarcliff Plaza, containing the Majestic Diner (c. 1929) and the Plaza Theatre (1939), an art-deco cinema hosting numerous film events and the focal point of independent cinema in Atlanta • Hotel Clermont (c. 1924), and its basement Clermont Lounge, a landmark strip club open since 1965.The BeltLine, a multi-use corridor of walking and biking paths and eventually a light rail line, built on the old Southern Railway tracks that form the western boundary of Poncey–Highland. The BeltLine Eastside Trail borders Poncey–Highland. Around the intersection of North Avenue and North Highland are: • Manuel's Tavern, a local political hangout and one of Atlanta's oldest taverns • Videodrome, an independent DVD and video rental retail • The Highland Inn (1927), one of Atlanta's only independent hotels • Highland Ballroom, a bar and event space located in the Highland Inn's basement areaThe so-called Murder Kroger at 725 Ponce de Leon Ave. was razed in 2016 and replaced by 725 Ponce, a mixed-use development with a new Kroger store.
