Phoenix Flies
Annual tour of historic homes and sites returns March 3-25
The Atlanta Preservation Center (APC) will present the award-winning Phoenix Flies: A
Celebration of Atlanta’s FFistoric Sites March 3 through 25.
The month-long festival celebrating Atlanta’s cultural and historical resources will showcase
99 Preservation Partners offering over 200 events, including guided walking tours, lectures,
storytelling, open houses and more, all available to the public free of charge.
Over a dozen new partners have joined the celebration this year, including the DeFoor
Centre, featuring a tour of the Battle of Peachtree Creek; Civil Bikes, offering a tour of Civil
Rights sites in the Martin Luther King Jr.-Auburn Avenue FFistoric Districts, the Glenn Fiouse
in Inman Park, the Gilded Angel Gallery in Candler Park, and the Clay Cemetery in Kirkwood.
Several events will focus on Atlanta’s iconic architects Neel Reid and Philip Schutze,
including tours of the Goodrum Fiouse and the Andrew Calhoun Estate (Tyggeson), a new
partner. The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art-SE Chapter will offer its annual Schutze
Fellows Lecture at the Schutze-designed Little Chapel at Glenn Memorial United Methodist
Church, another first-time event for Phoenix Flies.
