Techwood Homes, McDaniel Dormitory, 581-587 Techwood Dr, Atlanta, Fulton County, GA
Techwood Dormitory is a contributing building in the Techwood Homes Historic District, nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Techwood Dormitory differs from the majority of Techwood Homes buildings in terms of use, interior layout, and ownership; however, the dormitory was constructed in the same style and time period as the remainder of buildings in the district and shares the significant historical associations of Techwood Homes. ... Techwood Dormitory is unusual among the Techwood buildings in several ways. The dormitory was the first building to be completed and occupied; students moved into the building in September of 1935. Though financed and built by the PWA, the building was always intended for use by Georgia Tech. The dormitory resembles the other Techwood buildings in terms of exterior massing, details and materials but it the only one to feature dormitory-style accommodations. Though altered by modernizations over the years, the Techwood Dormitory has been in continuous, unchanged use since its completion and retains a fair degree of physical integrity.
