The historic Randolph-Lucas House at 2500 Peachtree Road

The 2500 Peachtree Condominiums were built in 1997 behind theRandolph-Lucas House on that property after the condo association was thenunable to get the house torn down. Now the condo association is trying again.
But the Buckhead Heritage Society is fighting its request,stating the association is not honoring the agreement it made when thebuilding's current owner purchased the property and promised to maintain thehouse as long as the condos were in existence.

The association will bring its case before theZoning Committee of Atlanta's Neighborhood Planning Unit-B Tuesday night at 7p.m. at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Buckhead. Then it likely will be onthe agenda of the full NPU-B board meeting Tuesday, July 3, at 7 p.m. at thesame location.
A zoning hearing with the city's Board of Zoning Adjustment is set forJuly 12 at noon.All of the meetings are open to the public.
