Description
Whitehall Junction explores how programs often associated with renovation-as-gentrification—a performing arts complex, market, apartments—can create a bridge between present and future occupants, serving, rather than displacing, the existing community. The proposed Eat-Dance-Live complex includes a renovation of and addition onto a US Post Office building from around the 1960s, which has seen multiple alterations over the years and currently houses eight apartments and several businesses including two dance studios, a t-shirt studio, and a boxing studio, on Whitehall Street, between the neighborhoods of Castleberry Hill and Mechanicsville in central Atlanta.
