About 30 buildings are represented in the exhibit, titled, \u201cThe Peachtree Way.\u201d The buildings\u2019 stories are told through architectural drawings, renderings, and modern photographs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThese buildings give us an idea of what Peachtree was like, \u2018Once upon a time,\u2019\u201d Kirk Henderson, records manager for the Georgia Tech Library and an exhibit organizer, said in a statement. The exhibit provides a sense of what Franklin D. Roosevelt saw in 1932, when he rode in an open car along Peachtree Street. More than 25,000 citizens lined the street to get a glimpse of the presidential candidate whom some already considered an adopted Georgian, because of the time he spent at Warm Springs, according to a report on Galileo, an online initiative of the University System of Georgia.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"28044","created_gmt":"2015-06-02 13:52:04","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:27:31","author":"Jessie Brandon","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"maritime","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/saportareport.com\/in-a-city-never-too-busy-to-demolish-peachtree-streets-iconic-buildings-on-display-at-ga-tech\/?utm_source=Saporta+Report+List\u0026utm_campaign=64e2069f18-SaportaReport_5_12_2015\u0026utm_medium=email\u0026utm_term=0_bea7737106-64e2069f18-232138021\u0026mc_cid=64e2069f18\u0026mc_eid=24bd6efccc","dateline":{"date":"2015-05-08T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2015-05-08T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"175","name":"Architecture"},{"id":"659","name":"Georgia Tech Library"},{"id":"127711","name":"peachtree way exhibit"},{"id":"168021","name":"stubbins gallery"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
