- Description:
- Typescript label attached to print verso identifies photographer (Rich Addicks): "Downtown looms over the remains of one of the Techwood Homes buildings under demolition near North Ave. and I-75-85 and Techwood Ave. Demolition is being done by Price and Sons. The site will become part of the Olympic athletes village. The entire block, consists (ed) of a Wendys, Comfort Inn, several small business, a Georgia Tech dorm, and four Techwood Homes buildings. Demolition started Oct. 15 and will continue into the first of the year. Crews have been working seven days a week. The $75 million project, called 'University Apartments,' is scheduled to be finished in the first quarter of 1996. The first inhabitants will be Olympic athletes. After the Olympics it will be occupied by Georgia State University students (yes, that is correct). The property was deeded to the Board of Regents and will be the first dorm for Georgia State University students. It will house 2,000 students, and 4,000 athletes. The apartments are unique to dorm living; they will be apartment-like (kitchen, dinning room, washer and dryer) as opposed to dorm-like." Newspaper caption: "One of the Techwood Homes buildings is reduced to rubble. The demolition will last until early next year." Caption date-stamped "Thu Nov18 1993 J C"
