MEETING DATE: October 8, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Historic Preservation Commission
ITEM TYPE: Public Hearing
HPC 20253534 - 617 Atlanta Street exterior paint
Item Summary:
The applicants repainted the front and side façade of the primary structure at 617 Atlanta Street. Due to Code Enforcement action, they are requesting an after-the-fact Certificate of Appropriateness for the painting of these, previously unpainted, surfaces.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approving the application with the following conditions:
- 1. That the paint may only remain on the building if a masonry professional, contracted by the developer within 3 months of approval of this application, concludes that removal of the paint would noticeably harm the natural brick surface;
- 2. The applicant must submit such a statement from the masonry professional to the Planning & Zoning Director and Historic District Planner within 6 months of approval of this application;
- 3. If the masonry professional determines that no noticeable damage will occur to the natural brick surface if the paint is removed, then the applicable paint must be removed no later than 1 year after approval of this application; and,
- 4. That the letters painted "Mill Street District" and "Historic Roswell" is considered signage and cannot be approved through the HPC process. If allowed under City signage code, it must be approved through a separate wall sign application.

Staff Comments
Overview:
The applicants repainted the front and side façade of the primary structure at 617 Atlanta Street. Due to Code Enforcement action, they are requesting an after-the-fact Certificate of Appropriateness for the painting of these, previously unpainted, surfaces.
The rear façade of the structure was also repainted. However, as this surface was already painted, State law preempts HPC jurisdiction over its repainting. This application is only applicable to the unapproved painting of the front and side façades.
The applicants' plans were submitted in August 2025 and plan reviews completed in August 2025.
Property History:
1854: The Roswell Manufacturing Company Store is built immediately abutting where 617 Atlanta Street's primary structure currently is located. This structure is still existing.
1911: According to 1911 Roswell Sanborn Map the property that 617 Atlanta Street is currently on is likely considered part of the right-of-way for Mill Street. Mill Street appears to be wide enough to reach the side façade of the Roswell Manufacturing Company Store.
1924: The 1924 Roswell Sanborn Map again suggests that Mill Street encompasses the property that 617 Atlanta's primary structure currently occupies. It is unclear when this property would have been broken off into its own parcel.
1952: The current existing structure is built and begins operations as a bank known as the Bank of Roswell.
1975: The property is acquired by the City of Roswell and begins to serve as Roswell City Hall.
1991: The building ceases to serve as Roswell City Hall. City operations are moved to the current, then newly built, Roswell City Hall and Municipal Complex
c.1991: The building begins to be used as the Historic Roswell Visitors Center, operated by the Historic Roswell District Owners and Business Association, a cooperative between downtown business owners and the City.
The Visitor Center is also referred to as the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau (Roswell CVB) around this time.
1993: HPC denies a signage variance for the property due to the center portion of the logo not containing a magnolia flower, as was suggested by Staff at the time. Signage, generally, no longer appears before HPC due to changes in City Code (HPC 01).
2000: HPC appears to approve a new sign for the visitor center. A final Certificate of Appropriateness was not found by Staff, but the proposed signage appears to have been installed on the building.
2008: HPC Staff approve, with conditions, an administrative application regarding changes to the front doors of the visitor center (HPC 48).
HPC Staff approve an administrative application regarding the removal of a gazebo on the property (HPC 53).
c.2020: The structure ceases to be used as a visitor information center and is largely unoccupied.
2025 July: Planning & Zoning Staff are notified the structure is being painted. No HPC approval had been received. Code Enforcement notified, with a Code Enforcement Officer and Planner visiting the site to notify developers.
2025 August: Applicants submit current application.
Site Plan:
The property includes a single-story shopfront with a basement accessible from the ground floor due to a steep downward slope of the lot. The total square footage of the single-story shopfront is 5,758. The building is sitting on 0.524 acres of land.
Architecture:
The primary structure at 617 Atlanta Street is a single-story shopfront, with a basement partially accessible at ground level due to a downward sloping grade, in a rendition of Greek Revival style of architecture.
As a purpose-built shopfront, the structure does not strictly adhere to the traditions or elements seen in Greek Revival homes in the Historic District or elsewhere. Nevertheless, the 2018 Historic Resources Survey classifies 617 Atlanta Street as one of the few post-bellum examples of Greek Revival Architecture in the Historic District (along with the more traditional examples of Ball House/Founder's Hall, built c.1870, and Roswell First Baptist Church Chapel, built 1927).
617 Atlanta's primary structure includes four faux Doric Square columns on its front façade. These are partially built into the actual façade's wall and are, presumably, not structural columns. The front door has sidelights, as well as another layer of windows that could arguably be described as sidelights and a transom window. The front façade has a cornice and frieze, but these are on a sort of false gable and do not appear outside of the front façade.
The remainder of the building is in a fairly plain brick building, with three over three double hung windows on the front-side of the side façade and four over four double hung on the rear and rear-side of the side façade. There are two doors with some additional faux columns on the rear façade. The primary structure is completely flat-roofed.
There is a rear section of the building that was historically used as a drive-thru teller. It is unclear if this is original to the building or was added when the building was used as either a bank or Roswell City Hall.
Analysis:
O.C.G.A.
22(9)(E) – State law preempts local historical preservation commissions on paint "alterations," but not on the initial application of paint to a natural surface. Therefore, approval of the initial application of paint to a unpainted surface must be carefully considered. Once a surface is approved to be painted once, under current law, HPC no longer has jurisdiction over the color of that paint when repainted. As this surface was painted without HPC approval, HPC does have jurisdiction over its approval.
UDC
10.3.27 & 10.3.28 – The proposed lettering on the side of the building would be considered commercial advertising and requires separate approval as a wall sign under the UDC. It cannot be approved as part of the HPC processes.
UDC Design Guidelines
Section 5.5 – Requires that the original natural surface of a masonry wall be protected against damage. Paint is not supposed to be applied to these walls if they have not been painted historically, as it could lock in moisture and cause damage to the material. However, as the paint has already been applied, paint should only be removed if it will not cause damage to the brick.
Reasoning for recommendation
Staff recommends approval with conditions for this application based on the following reasons:
- Applicants have worked in good faith with the City after being notified of their code violation;
- Staff recommended conditions ensure that the masonry of the building is protected, while allowing the applicants the possibility of retaining the now existing paint; and,
- Recommendation avoids setting precedent that unpainted objects and structures may be painted without HPC approval.

The applicants are requesting an after-the-fact Certificate of Appropriateness for the painting of an unpainted historic shopfront façade.
The property is in the Central Alpharetta / Atlanta Street character area of the Historic District Master Plan and is in the Historic District Character Area in the UDC Design Guidelines.
The existing property is classified as historic on the 2003 Historic Properties Map.
The property is in the DS- (Downtown Shopfront) zoning district.

Roswell Square Project Overview (Letter of Intent)
Our intent with Roswell Square is to combine the various buildings into one cohesive idea. This includes branding the project under one name and utilizing signage and colors to tie the project together. Our overall goal is to eventually pull in the Roswell Mill signage across Mill Street, as well as Founder's Square into an overall uniform master project.
617 N. Atlanta Street was built after the row of storefront buildings along Atlanta Street and never truly "fit in" with the balance of the historical fronts. It ran as a local bank for many years and most recently housed Roswell Inc. We feel that its lack of identity and staleness has made it difficult to lease. We are hopeful that by changing the paint color and pulling it in with the rest of Roswell Square, we can achieve some success, while giving it a fresh look. The plan calls for painting the building, add some interesting subtle graphics along the north wall that fronts Sloan Street and to update the lighting along the front with new scones and storefront signage.

Major Application for the Terrace Roof Cover
Dear Committee,
As the restaurant is nearing the final stages of renovations and additions, we must return before the Committee to seek approval for changes made to the building. The owner was experiencing difficulties with the terrace cover company originally presented to the Committee. The owners saw a similar structure in a restaurant in Turkey and decided to make a change in suppliers, desiring to keep as close to the original aesthetic as possible.
The owners decided to make this change unaware that this item required resubmission and reapproval, prior to commencing, that it did not have. We offer our apologies for this oversight; it was not our intention, and it is our desire to correct it as soon as possible.
The initial plans submitted included a sloped expandable/retractable cover to complement the sloped structure over the entry. The new structure replaces the sloped design with a flat (still expandable/retractable) cover. The new flat top compliments and elevates the overall style and boxy nature of the building. The new structure is 11'-10" high, which is approximately 12 to 18 inches taller than the structure over the entry. The lighting is integrated within the structure and does not produce downward lighting, only a low ambient glow.
This structure also incorporates a metal frame railing, which can be raised to create glass sides when weather requires. This design avoids the issue often seen with other buildings in the historic district and nearby areas, where plastic panels must be added in colder months to temper the space. We felt the glass sides were more in keeping with the upscale nature of the Canton St dining district we all would like to see.
We respectfully request approval of this revised application, replacing the original HPC submittal.
Sincerely,
Tom H Wright Jr Architect

Staff Comments
Overview:
The applicants are requesting an after-the-fact Certificate of Appropriateness for changes made to the roofline and the enclosing of an outdoor dining area.
The applicants are, additionally, submitting administrative HPC applications for after-the-fact changes to the site and decking, as well as a proposed shed. The scope of neither HPC administrative application is included within this HPC major application.
The applicants were visited by inspectors from the Building Division, Planning & Zoning Division, and Fire Department in June 2025. The applicants were directed to submit for HPC approval for changes made without a Certificate of Appropriateness. The applicants' plans were submitted in July 2025 and plan reviews completed in September 2025.
Property History:
1911: The 1911 Roswell Sanborn Map includes a wood-framed building being used by a blacksmith and wheelwright (an individual who fixes wooden wheels) on or near the property that 964 Alpharetta now encompasses. This wood-framed building has a similar footprint to the historic core of the current structure, but due to materials, is not likely the same building.
1924: The 1924 Roswell Sanborn Map appears to include an auto repair shop of concrete construction in approximately the same footprint as the existing building. Prior to its use as a restaurant, the building, which is originally of concrete construction, was an auto repair shop.
The 2018 Historic Resources Survey suggests that this may be a different building, but Staff could not find confirmation for or against at this time.
1938: Existing primary structure is confirmingly present on the property, it is used as an auto repair shop during this time.
c.1952: Aerial photographs suggest that the building was connected to a longer line of connected shopfronts along Alpharetta Street
c.1978: Aerial photographs suggest that the adjacent building to the south has been demolished and that the 964 Alpharetta Street structure is no longer part of a line of shopfronts
Prior to 1983: Sometime prior to 1983, the shopfront began being used as a glasswork manufacturing shop.
1983: DRB approves a new canvas canopy on two sides of the building (DRB-2164).
1988: The property is included in an expansion of the Historic District. Modern HPC founded this year.
Prior to 1989: Sometime prior to 1989, the shopfront began being used as a sign manufacturing shop.
1989: A sign variance is approved by HPC, allowing a ten foot variance to the setback of a ground sign. HPC no longer has jurisdiction over sign variances, due to changes in City code (HPC 02R).
Prior to 2004: Sometime prior to 2004, the shopfront begins being used as a retail store, "Board of Trade."
2004: HPC Staff approve, with suggestions, the repainting of the building to a copper red. HPC no longer has jurisdiction over repainting, due to changes in State law (HPC 48).
c.2009: Shopfront begins being used as a retail store selling antiques, furniture, and miscellaneous items in multiple booths, "A Classy Clutter."
2018 August: HPC Staff approved the removal of wood siding from a portion of the building (HPC 201803883).
2018 September: HPC conditionally approves proposed changes to the storefront and side deck (HPC 201803691).
2018 October: HPC Staff conditionally approve an administrative HPC request to make minor changes to previously approved plans, specifically in regards to planters, lighting, and location of corrugated metal,
as well respond to some conditions required of the previous proposal (HPC 201804888).
2019: HPC Staff approves a request to change features regarding the entry stoop and to build an exterior shed for the storage of CO2 tanks (HPC 20190369, 20190519).
2021: HPC Staff approves a request to change windows and vents, as they were being fixed, with new features.
2022 & 2023: HPC Staff approves four separate HPC minor applications dealing with the screening and painting to the rooftop grease hood, changes to the parking lot and site as a whole, among other issues (HPC 20222640, 20222640, 20223798, 20232189).
2024: HPC approves a major renovation to the exterior of the building and parking, including new outside dining, a deck addition, and new landscaping (HPC 20240436).
2025 June: Stop work orders are issued by the Building Division, as current construction does not align with previous HPC and building permit approvals.
2025 July: This application is submitted.
2025 September: 2 other administrative HPC applications are submitted for the remainder of the work being done (HPC 20254414, other is unnumbered, as of writing)
Site Plan:
The property includes a 3,242 single-story shopfront with enclosed patio, as well as two sheds, a deck, and entrance stoop, sitting on 0.187 acres of land.
Architecture:
The primary structure at 964 Alpharetta is a single-story shopfront without a distinctly clear style of architecture.
One may be able to make an argument that the building, in its current form, has influences from the International style of architecture. The building's largely flat roof, non-existent detailing at the windows or doors, asymmetrical façade, and large window groupings are all elements of International style. However, given the incrementalist construction of the building, it is difficult to determine if this was the intention of the designers. It also must be added that many, if not all, of these architectural elements date to within the last 10 years of the building. They are not historical elements of the structure itself.
The structure greatly differs from its appearance, even just a decade ago. At this time, Staff could not confirm any images of the structure prior to 1975. If there are structures or objects remaining on the building that were in place prior to that year, they may be considered historic by age. However, it would be unlikely that they would also be architecturally contributing to the Historic District.
617 Atlanta's roof is largely flat-roofed, with some sloping portions over the front entrance and southwest corner.
Analysis:
UDC
5.3.11.4 – Single-story shopfronts in DS- (Downtown Shopfront) zoning requires 60% transparency and an entrance facing the primary street. The building prior to its 2018 renovation had 60% transparency and prior to its 2024 renovation had an entrance along the primary street. These should not have been allowed to be approved. However, as these were approved in previous HPC approvals, they are now legally non-conforming. The applicants cannot be required to amend the issue.
10.1.6 & 10.1.10.B – Restaurants in the -HOD (Historic Overlay District) are required to provide at least 1 parking space per 300 square feet. Remote parking is allowed to be used to meet this requirement, provided that it is within 800 feet of walking distance.
The business, if excluding the unenclosed outdoor dining deck, would require 11 parking spaces. The property only has 7. A remote parking agreement is in place with an establishment on Green Street that would provide
non-exclusive access to an additional 10 spaces. However, as this business is ~1,100 feet away by foot, it cannot be used for remote parking under the UDC.
UDC Design Guidelines
Section 1.31b: Ground floors should be defined with a canopy, fenestration, change in materials, or building setback. Recently constructed semi-enclosed porch adds a large, and unique to the area, glass section to the façade that was not previously existing. This, along with the existing canopy, creates a new definition to the ground floor of the building that the structure previously did not have.
Section 4.28: Shopfront buildings should be designed to fit into the historic context. The building does not fit well into the historic context. That being said, the original building did not fit well into the context. The concrete block building without a strict architectural style, did not, strictly, fit into the largely brick and clapboard Historic District with a variety of architectural styles. The existing canopy and semi-enclosed porch, along with the already approved changes made to the building, improve the general appearance of the building. Therefore, improving the fit of the building into the historic context.
Section 4.29: Requires that the ground floor of a shopfront building to engage the public realm and promote pedestrian activity. The removable floor-to-ceiling windows, while not ideal in appearance for the Historic District, does increase pedestrian interest and activity. Further interactions between the patrons of the business and those walking along Alpharetta Street are encouraged by the change. Activation of this use allows for a pedestrian accessible business to open along an otherwise largely un-activated stretch of Alpharetta Street.
UDC Design Guidelines 5.45: New canopies or awnings must be designed to be in character with the original building and surrounding streetscape. The existing canopy over the semi-enclosed patio is not, strictly speaking, aligned with the surrounding streetscape. The modern blockish design does not strictly fit in with the historic context.
That being said, it does align with the character of the original building. The original building, historically, was a blockish utilitarian building. The addition of the canopy and semi-enclosed porch brings new life to the existing space.
Reasoning for recommendation
Staff recommends approval with conditions for this application based on the following reasons:
- While there are outstanding issues regarding parking, landscaping, and fees, applicants have, since submission of this application, worked in good faith with the City regarding their HPC approval; and,
- While not an ideal design for the Historic District, constitutes an improvement when compared to the recent history of the building's appearance.

Planning and Zoning
Reviewer: Shea Dixon, Planner II, 6437, sdixon@roswellgov.com,
DS - Downtown Shopfront zoning
NOTE: 2003 Historic Resources Survey classifies property as ""non-historic;"" 2018 Historic Resources Inventory lists property as being built in 1938. Initial review by Staff suggests building would be more appropriately classified as ""historic-obscured.""
This application, as submitted, is approved to move forward to the HPC. Staff recommendations will likely be based on the following criteria:
- UDC Design Guidelines 1.31b: Define the ground floor with a canopy, fenestration, change in materials or building step back.
- UDC Design Guidelines 4.28: Design a new Mixed-use or Shopfront building to fit into the historic context.
- UDC Design Guidelines 4.29: Design the ground floor of a Mixed-use or Shopfront building to engage the public realm and promote pedestrian activity.
- UDC Design Guidelines 4.36: Respect the historic streetscape pattern along Lower Canton Street.
- UDC Design Guidelines 4.38: Locate public open space to support activity on Lower Canton Street.
- UDC Design Guidelines 5.4: Remove later covering materials that have not achieved historic significance.
- UDC Design Guidelines 5.45: Design a new canopy or awning to be in character with the original building and surrounding streetscape.
No immediate issues were discovered upon initial review of this application.
