Historic Atlanta church building among 2026 Georgia Places in Peril list
A historic Midtown Atlanta church building is among the list of this year’s Places in Peril named by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.
Construction on Egleston Hall on the campus of All Saints’ Episcopal Church was completed in 1918, but now the nonprofit says its future is uncertain, and it risks being demolished.
The Georgia Trust says the historic Gothic Revival building has served as a center for community events for over a century. It now acts as the home to the church’s clergy and program staff offices, parish library, archives, and music suite.
“Its horseshoe-shaped plan reflects the Akron Plan, a once-popular religious building design that allowed flexible instruction through movable partitions surrounding a central hall,” the Trust writes. “Egleston Hall remains an important example of early church-sponsored educational architecture and a contributing element of the historic All Saints’ campus.”
The hall has also acted as a recording studio in its past, with famous acts like The Carter Family and Blind Willie McTell performing there.
While Egleston Hall is still in use, construction on a neighboring property has left its stability impacted, the nonprofit said.
Other sites on this year’s list include:
- Boggs Rural Life Center in Keysville
- Civilian Conservation Corps Camp at Hard Labor Creek State Park in Rutledge
- Legion Pool at the University of Georgia in Athens
- McCranie Turpentine Still in Willacoochee
- Orange Hall in St. Marys
- Salem Campground in Covington
- Thomas L. Bell Memorial Ballpark in Americus
- Union Brothers and Sisters Mission Hall in Meridian
- Wayne County Courthouse in Jesup

ATHENS, Ga. – Designated hitter Daniel Jackson and centerfielder Rylan Lujo combined for nine RBI Sunday, leading fifth-ranked Georgia to a 12-1 win over LSU at Foley Field.
Georgia improved to 41-11 overall, 21-6 in the SEC, while LSU dropped to 29-24 overall and 9-18 in conference play.
The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Thursday when they play host to Florida in Game 1 of a three-game SEC series in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. Thursday’s game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
“Georgia won the moments in this series,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “They’re going to score, so you’ve got to capitalize against them when you have scoring opportunities on offense.”
Georgia starting pitcher Caden Aoki (8-0) was the winner, limiting LSU to one run on four hits in 5.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
LSU right-hander Casan Evans (2-3), making his first appearance since April 17 versus Texas A&M, started the game Sunday and was charged with the loss, working 1.2 innings and allowing four runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
“I thought Casan’s stuff looked great, and that’s good for him from a health standpoint,” Johnson said. “He’s a guy that the more he pitches, the better he is, so there might have been a little bit of rust, but I thought he competed fine.”
Georgia struck for four runs in the bottom of the second inning in an outburst highlighted by Jackson’s two-out, two-run single and an RBI single by second baseman Ryan Black.
The Tigers narrowed the gap to 4-1 in the third when designated hitter Omar Serna Jr. delivered an RBI single.
Georgia extended its lead to 7-1 in the fourth as Jackson launched a two-run homer and centerfielder Lujo lined a run-scoring single.
Lujo unloaded a grand slam in the fifth, giving the Bulldogs an 11-1 advantage.
