Ivy Hall Restoration doc continues Nov. 1 on PBA 30
Friday, October 31st, 2008
After two years of labor-intensive restoration efforts, SCAD reopened Atlanta’s historic Peters House, aka Ivy Hall, on Oct. 3. The mansion, located at 179 Ponce de Leon Ave., dates back to 1883 and was home to one of the city’s founding families. Its Queen Anne-style design is the “best and earliest surviving example of residential architecture from Atlanta’s post-Civil War era,” according to the National Register of Historic Places. It also housed the Mansion restaurant for nearly 30 years until a fire in 2000.
PBA 30 continues airing the locally produced five-part series documenting the restoration process Nov. 1, 8, 15 and 22 at 6:30 p.m.
