The Colonnades

The Colonnades are historic condominium buildings located in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, recognized as a contributing property to the Virginia-Highland Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1916, the complex features two three-story buildings with a total of 24 apartments, showcasing a striking Mediterranean architectural style. Visitors will appreciate the beautifully landscaped courtyard framed by oversized white columns that stand out against the red brick facade. The design elements reflect an early influence of postmodern architecture, making it a noteworthy example of garden apartment style in Atlanta. Originally developed by Lucian Lamar Knight, a notable historian and journalist, the Colonnades offer a glimpse into the city's rich architectural heritage.
