This captivating book takes readers on a six-year journey, unveiling the remarkable transformation of one of the Southeast's largest buildings into a vibrant mixed-use civic anchor in 2016. Originally constructed in 1925 as a sprawling distribution and retail center for Sears, Roebuck, and Company, the iconic structure had served the city's public works departments and housed an abundance of items within its 2.1 million square feet of space. However, over time, it fell into disuse and was abandoned.
Enter an architect/photographer, who embarked on a mission to capture the essence of this abandoned building. Through meticulous documentation, they meticulously recorded the various stages of construction and reconstruction, as well as the building's eventual dazzling presence along the rail line, which now serves as an urban corridor for bicyclists and joggers.
The book is enriched with an illustrated essay by historian Jerry Hancock, an authority on Sears's profound impact on the South. Additionally, architectural historian Robert M. Craig provides a foreword, offering insights into the historical significance of the building.
This captivating book is a treasure trove for history and architecture enthusiasts, as well as municipalities seeking guidance on the future of their own landmark industrial structures. It serves as a testament to the power of transformation and the potential for revitalization.
