(Photo by Matt Hennie) The City of Atlanta and the owner of two Midtown buildings – including the former home of the Atlanta Eagle – struck a deal to dramatically scale back the scope of an effort to declare the properties historic landmarks. The terms of the compromise between Doug Young, the city’s assistant director of the Office of Design, and property owner Shahzad Hashmi were discussed publicly for the first time on Tuesday. The modifications to the proposed landmark designation for the two properties were presented during a meeting of the Land Use Committee of the Midtown Neighbors’ Association.
