Foundry Street Warehouse
Convention Center – Athens, GA |
|
|
The
Foundry Street Warehouse is a 100-year-old timber- and
steel-framed 2-story structure with a single-story
structure located at the east end. The warehouse is
located across Foundry Street from the Athens Classic
Convention Center. In order to increase capacity of the
Classic Center, the warehouse was converted into a
convention center on the second floor with later
development to be completed on the lower level.
Considerable modifications were made to the building to
bring it into current code applicability, and a stair
tower was completed above the roof for the construction
and installation of a pedestrian bridge across Foundry
Street to the Classic Center. The single-story structure
is to be converted later into a performing arts center.
Renovations to this building utilized exposure of the
existing framing wherever possible. The majority of the
existing structure, consisting of steel beams, columns
with wood timber floors, has remained in place.

Pink Morton Theater - Athens, GA |
|
|
The Pink
Morton Theater was constructed approximately 100 years ago
as a vaudeville theater by an African-American
entrepreneur, Pink Morton. this building was used
for vaudeville performances and later as a motion picture
theater. Exterior walls consisted of mulit-wythe
brick masonry and all interior framing was timber.
The theater contained two balconies, a stage and stage
loft. The roof structure consisted of heavy timber
trusses with timber plank decking. Restoration of
this building took approximately ten years for funding and
construction, with the first phase stabilizing the roof
structure to stop any leaking or further deterioration of
the timber trusses and decking. The building is
currently being used as a performing arts center. |
