Eagle owner Richard Ramey
The effort to protect the 122-year-old building that once housed the Atlanta Eagle stalled on Wednesday, delaying discussion of designating it as a historic landmark for at least two weeks.
The Atlanta Urban Design Commission pressed pause after the building’s owner asked for more time to review the city’s application for landmark status. The city – and Historic Atlanta – wants to designate two buildings – 306 Ponce de Leon Avenue, which housed the Eagle until it closed in November, and 300 Ponce de Leon, vacant since the 1990s – as landmarks to protect them from being demolished.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms jump-started the process in mid-December. But Dennis Webb – an attorney for Shahzad Hashmi, the Gwinnett psychiatrist who owns both buildings – argued that they received two city reports about the landmark designation just a week before the meeting.
Atlanta Gay Bar Designated a Historical Landmark
Will becoming the first protected LGBTQ+ landmark in the Deep South save the Atlanta Eagle? December 29 2020 3:00 AM EST
The City of Atlanta is designating gay bar Atlanta Eagle as a historic landmark, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms annouced earlier this month.
This makes the Atlanta Eagle the first recognized and protected LGBTQ+ landmark in the Deep South, a Historic Atlanta representative told the local channel WXIA-TV.
“The Atlanta Eagle has a rich history and is a beloved place for so many people in Atlanta and across the world,” Bottoms said in her announcement. ”The bar is also one of the Southeast’s most famous LGBTQ social establishments and has hosted legendary drag performers like Ru Paul and Lady Bunny that promote LGBTQ equality and HIV/AIDS education.
