Castleberry Hill

This guide to Castleberry Hill in Atlanta follows Herman Russell, a plasterer's son who built his own construction empire from a childhood duplex, and his unlikely bet in the early nineteen eighties on this emptied warehouse district of cotton, terra cotta and meatpacking-era brick. It traces the artists who broke into the same disused loading docks around those years, turning loading platforms into studios, and Russell's decision to bring back Paschal's, the restaurant that once fed the civil rights movement, right here.
