Chattahoochee Brick

2019/05/10

The end of the Civil War marked the end of slavery in the US...right? In the last few years, books and documentaries are educating Americans on what really happened. In all Southern cities, convict leasing booms in the post-war period and the largest user of the system was right here in Atlanta. This week, I am sharing the history of Chattahoochee Brick and the English Family. Learn

The Cascade Mansion (1860) and the Willis House (1840) are both owned by Lt. Colonel Perry Bennett, who can make a war-history-lover out of anyone. This week, I am sharing the information I learned on my tours of the two homes and the incredible history that they both hold. www.archiveatlantapodcast.com/ Email: thevictorialemos@gmail.com FB: www.facebook.com/archiveatlanta IG: www.instagram.com/archiveatlanta Cascade Mansion: The Willis House: Bomb-proof:

Great Fire of 1917

2019/04/26

Every city seems to have their story of a great fire, and Atlanta is no different. In 1917, over the course of 10 hours, we would lose 73 square blocks, more than 300 acres, 1938 buildings and 1900 homes. 10,000 Atlantans were homeless, which was 5% of the city’s population.

Collier Heights

2019/04/19

Collier Heights development began slowly in the 1910s, with homes for white Atlantans. As WWII came to a close and housing shortages hit the city, African Americans began to purchase, develop and finance subdivisions on the west side. This neighborhood is a treasure trove of mid-century modern homes, but the stories of who lived in these homes is even

Women of Sweet Auburn

2019/04/12

When we share the history of Atlanta, so many stories are focused on men. I myself was guilty...until a women's real estate group asked me to tell the stories of the women of Auburn Avenue. Amazed with what I found, this week I am taking on a virtual walking tour and sharing what I learned about the incredible and ground-breaking ladies of this block. www.archiveatlantapodcast.com/ Email: thevictorialemos@gmail.com FB: www.facebook.com/archiveatlanta IG: www.instagram.com/archiveatlanta

The first post-World War II, Neo-Nazi group in America organized right here in Atlanta. Only in formal existence for one year, the Columbians were still able to inflict fear, hatred and violence in the city's African American and Jewish

Did you know that Peachtree Street was once lined with the grand mansions of Atlanta's elite? And did you know that only six are left (five in their original locations)? This week, I'm telling you all about where they are, when they were built, who lived in them and how you can live in one...all while mispronouncing every famous Atlanta architect's

Capitol View + Capitol View Manor

2019/03/22

They share a name, yet demonstrate two different Atlanta suburban development styles - the streetcar and the automobile. With a few homes dating back 150 years, these two Atlanta neighborhoods also showcase the city-wide boom of the 1920s. This week I mention mysterious fires, azaleas, Masons, redlining and why we should thank Clark Atlanta for the new portion of the

Nellie Peters Black

2019/03/15

The legacy of women's influence in Atlanta earliest history is not always tangible. There's no downtown office building, no company that still bears their name - but even in those patriarchal, religious, and societal confines, Nellie Peter Black was able to serve our city and state throughout most of her life. Descendant of a prominent Atlanta family, she lived with the true desire to help those in need - starting the first mission in Atlanta, organizing the first free hospital and helping to

Grady Hospital

2019/03/08

The cornerstone at Atlanta's first public hospital was laid without the funds to actually finish building it! Finally opened in 1892, it's been serving the city for the last 127 years. This week I'm sharing the earliest hospital history, the true "Father of Grady', why the first patient was rejected and the terrible luck of its first motorized ambulance.

Vinings

2019/03/01

Until last week, I had NO clue this unincorporated Cobb County enclave was actually 'ITP'...but that's not the only surprise that Vinings has to offer. Beginning with the Cherokee, who had two villages and a ferry operating in the area, it would be given in the land lottery to Hardy Pace, who built his family home and cemetery there. Throw in a good Sherman story, historic preservation, abandoned graves, whiskey and a ski slope - and you won't want to miss this week's

He's left a long legacy in the city and especially on the street he loved so much - Auburn

The Crackers may sound familiar, but what about the Osceolas, Atlantans, Firecrackers, Windjammers, Deppens, Cubs and Panthers? This week, I’m talking about the parallel worlds of white and black baseball in Atlanta, all of the club iterations, and where these games were played.

Washerwomen Strike

2019/02/08

In 1881, not even two decades out of slavery, a group of Atlanta's African American washerwomen started the "Washing Society" and launched the fight for higher wages, respect and acknowledgement of black women's important role in the New South economy. One of best lesser-known 'herstories' of the city. www.amazon.com/Joy-My-Freedom-Southern-Womens/dp/0674893085 Contact Me: Email: thevictorialemos@gmail.com FB: www.facebook.com/archiveatlanta IG: www.instagram.com/archiveatlanta
