WESTVIEW CEMETERY GATEHOUSE

The Atlanta Preservation Center has commissioned Landmark Preservation LLC (Landmark) to conduct archival research in order to track the building’s evolution as well as complete a conditions assessment of the Gatehouse located at Westview Cemetery in Atlanta. The purpose of this assessment is to identify building deficiencies and to make recommendations for future treatment. This assessment does not focus on restoration to a specific period but instead recommends treatment to arrest deterioration, ensure life safety, stabilize the structure and allow accessibility. While recommendations have been made for future restoration work, the primary goals are to secure and stabilize the building, as well as rehabilitate it into a new use as the cemetery visitor center with accessible bathrooms, exhibition and meeting spaces.
