A year after site plans and initial prices were unveiled, a unique infill project that bills itself as “a new page” in Atlanta history is aiming to start delivering this year.
Continuing Atlanta’s appetite for remaking church properties, the Downing Park project is replacing the razed Jackson Hill Baptist Church and repurposing a historic Tudor mansion on a property collectively known as Pinebloom, located where Druid Hills’ southern border meets Candler Park.
Demolition work around the property has been ongoing for a couple of years, but an official groundbreaking wasn’t held until May.
The most noticeable construction progress to date has come at the circa-1914 mansion and a historically protected carriage house behind it.
