Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, Castleberry Hill contains the largest and most-concentrated remnant of railroad buildings in Atlanta. The railway, which defines street ands building patterns as it cuts through Castleberry Hill, is as old as the City of Atlanta itself. Early 20th-century commercial and industrial structures form continuous frontages at the street and railway lines, giving the area a distinctive urban look. Each year, the Loft Tour helps the historic community raise money for aesthetic improvementsneighborhood beautification and improvements. Tour-goers will also get to view street sign toppers, the signature Castleberry Hill metalwork neighborhood sign, new trash cans, newly planted trees, neighborhood banners and more – all of which are a result of funds raised during past Loft Tours.
