Perspectives in Architecture: Atlanta Dairies development enriches community

Atlanta Dairies is nourishing goodness for local residents again. Starting in 1945, the Atlanta Dairies Co-operative’s Memorial Drive plant supplied milk to Atlanta families and schools. A 1949 Streamline Moderne building, originally a laundry supply company, was absorbed into the Dairies operation in 1965, and connected by catwalks to other industrial buildings onsite. Purchased by the dairy giant Parmalat in 1992, the plant was shuttered in 2004.
