Tour Historic Howell Station Neighborhood

Our tour will start at the M-28 Church with a history of the neighborhood, then explore several streets within the historical core. Previously surrounded by industrial sites, the community is now bordered by mixed-use development and the Beltline. We will discuss the need to balance historical preservation and new development while coordinating with City Planning. As we walk the tree-lined streets of Howell Station, we will note the homes built between 1900 and 1930 and reflect on the lives and occupations of the residents who live on what was then the outskirts of the emerging City of Atlanta.
