About this Event

Pioneering female architect Leila Ross Wilburn changed the way Atlantans lived, bringing modern conveniences and charming designs that still resonate today. Her plan book business spread her ideas across the country and fueled this fascinating lady's 60 year career. We'll focus on two of her apartment building designs, Wilburn House and Chatam Court (now the Piedmont and Third Condominiums) as we discuss her life and work.


As we walk between these two stops (about one mile) we'll talk more about how Ms. Wilburn's work fit into the larger development of Piedmont Avenue and hear stories about the families, developers, and others that shaped modern Midtown!
