Means Street Historic District, Historic district in Atlanta, US.

Means Street Historic District runs along one block of Means Street between Bankhead and Ponders Avenues in Atlanta's Marietta Street Artery. It consists of mostly 19th and early 20th century warehouse and industrial buildings, now converted to office space and lofts. Contributing properties include the Allied Factory Lofts at 500 Means Street, built by the Standard Oil Company as a barrel making shop, and the 1907 Ware-Hatcher building at 530 and 544 Means Street.

The neighborhood developed during Atlanta's growth period in the late 1800s as the city expanded outward. The buildings were later protected as a historic district to preserve this phase of the city's development.

The street takes its name from landowner Alexander Means and was plotted in 1869. Mule-pulled trolleys carried workers here from 1882 until electrification in 1894. The rapper Playboi Carti commonly references the area, and the former Standard Oil barrel shop at 500 Means Street now holds lofts.

The district can be explored on foot and allows visitors to see the buildings from the outside and the street itself. It is helpful to walk slowly and observe the different building styles on the facades to notice the differences between the periods.

Rapper Playboi Carti commonly references the Means Street area, drawing attention to this block of converted warehouses that many pass without noticing.
