Joe Patten restored the original pipe organ in the Fox Theatre in 1963 and started the non-profit Atlanta Landmarks to restore the Fox Theater. He renovated an office for a collection of pipe organs, and antiques. The current Board is kicking him out of his home of 30 years. A grand old man of Old Atlanta being thrown out.

Sorry, I missed the part where they’re ‘throwing him out’. It says he’s decided not to sign the lease. How does that equal the property owners ‘throwing him out’ exactly?

The Fox Theater in Atlanta is almost impossible to describe, it is so unlike anything else. Beaux Arts eclectic Ali Baba revival meets the Sons of the Desert might give a hint. You have to see it, it is worth a trip just for that.

We need to get the local talk radio people in on this.

Disgusting. No other words to describe it. Leaves a stain on what is one of old Atlanta’s icons. Of course, the transplants have left their stain all over the city anyway.

There are no pictures of the theatre just of his apartment.
