I’m researching a property for a client and it includes 819 Bankhead Avenue, now Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway. This property is currently vacant and is expected to be renovated for office use. It is listed in the Atlanta R.L. Polk City Directories as the “Bankhead Theatre Motion Pictures” and is listed as such from 1934 through 1944. Earlier directories were not reviewed. This building has been used as an appliance store, Redfern Sausage Warehouse, Dixie Elevators, and as a church. It is a masonry structure with two floors and the rear of the building is open from the bottom floor to the roof. The floors are hardwood and the other interior finishes appear to be newer than the structure of the building, probably 1970ish. Steel beams were apparent but were probably added by the elevator company.
