Tours and receptions will be held at 6 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. Thursday of the 1912 Academy Lofts, 711 Catherine St. SW, Atlanta by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.

Including the tour and reception, tickets are $30 for Inherit GA (ages 40 and younger), $35 for members and $45 for nonmembers.

The historic building is this year’s recipient of the Marguerite Williams Award, the Trust’s highest honor, for its impact on preservation in the state.

A reception will be held at The Hall at Darling Josephine.
