About Freedom Lofts
FREEDOM LOFTS ? HISTORY
On April 1, 1919, The Atlanta Linen Supply Company was born in the small kitchen of an Atlanta, Georgia residence. Business prospered as the company became a standard for many beauty parlors, health services, grocery, hotels and restaurants. In 1920, the company -moved into a new building on Walker Street and two short years later, expand?ed outside Atlanta. The name, Southern Linen Service Company, was adopted as the thriving business began running ten southeastern plants. The company became The National Linen Service Corporation in 1928.
As National Linen experienced massive growth, a unique partnership was developed with Jackson & Edney, a North Carolina construction company, in 1937. National Linen contracted them to design and build several of their factories. Steel had always been an integral part of the designs of this period; however, construction with steel was limited during World War II. As a result, a new style of building emerged during this time. Jackson & Edney utilized this new standard in the construction of the new Empire Manufacturing Building.
Permitted on February 16, 1954, this building is an excellent example of factory-type design and construction. A 95 foot long-span steel truss allowed for large uninterrupted factory space. Monitors and expansive window bands allowed cascading natural light. An elaborate hooded venting
system controlled the environment. An oversized, grand, limestone entrance with a recessed
metal storefront door indicates the art deco influence. Remaining windows on the first floor
consist of a long band of interesting metal windows with blue glazing. This modern design
allowed for efficient textile manufacturing, producing linen garments, napkins, tablecloths
and other items for more than thirty years.
This gem of history is preserved by maintaining its revolutionary design elements and its connection to a by-gone era. The architects associated with Freedom Lofts are utilizing the impressive historical details and merging it with the latest innovations of space, shape and style. Freedom Lofts at The Village is a toast to the past with a new attitude towards expressive urban living.
