The M.H. Mitchell, Inc. Collection of Atlanta Architecture and Culture consists of architecture plans and documents related to development and redevelopment of areas in metro Atlanta. Of focus are materials relating to The Healey Building Condominiums and the redevelopment of the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill.
Donated by David Yoakley Mitchell, the M.H. Mitchell, Inc. collection was created to continue the work of its namesake, Martin Hardin “Buddy” Mitchell, who served on the Rome City Commission and managed Dellinger Inc. - a Northwest Georgia Carpet Mill - instilled a devotion of civic duty in all who knew him. Understanding that losing the memories of our past would diminish the “story” for those who followed. Yet - the past is complex and must be inclusive.
That is why this collection of materials attempts to provide a broad exposure to the experience of many - and those challenges that have shaped our current experiences.
Martin Hardin “Buddy” Mitchell passed away on the 11th of February 1997.
The Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills documents on redevelopment (Undated, 1986) are donated in honor of Candace M. Willkens.
2 books and a bound thesis were separated and cataloged individually. A note in each bibliographic record indicates that the publication is part of the M.H. Mitchell, Inc. Collection of Atlanta Architecture and Culture. These records can be found by searching the collection number “DM013” in the library catalog.
