The City Council of Atlanta adopted an ordinance to designate the Randolph Lucas Jones House, located at 78 Peachtree Circle, as a Landmark Building/Site (LBS). This rezoning changes the property's classification from R-4 (Single Family Residential) to R-4/LBS (Single Family Residential/Landmark Building/Site). The house, built in 1924, is significant for its association with architect P. Thornton Marye and original owner Hollins Randolph, as well as its Neoclassical Revival style. It was moved twice, in 1998 and 2013, to preserve it from demolition, with a significant restoration completed in 2019. The property meets the eligibility criteria for LBS designation, demonstrating historic and architectural significance. The decision subjects the property to general regulations governing Landmark Buildings/Sites in Chapter 20 of the City of Atlanta Zoning Ordinance.
