Legendary Public Servant Sam Massell Retires as President of Buckhead Coalition

by Alex Tostado January 30, 2020

Buckhead has grown dramatically since Sam Massell first took up residence in the community in 1952. That’s when he rented an apartment at the corner of Lindbergh Drive and Adina Drive, about a block from Piedmont Road. It was a brand-new building — “first-class quality space in Buckhead,” as he describes it. His rent was $50 per month. That was long before the businessman would become Atlanta’s 53rd mayor, serving from 1970 to 1974. “Some years later, as the former mayor of Atlanta, I was invited to cut a ribbon on some new townhouses that were opening on the same property for about half a million dollars each,” he recalls. “Time marches on.” And Massell is moving on as well. The 92-year-old, known as the unofficial mayor of Buckhead, announced Wednesday he is retiring from his position as president of the Buckhead Coalition. He broke the news during the organization’s annual meeting at 103 West, a private dining restaurant. Massell is the only president the organization has ever had. Launched in 1988, the Buckhead Coalition is made up of 100 business and civic leaders that aim to preserve the quality of life in Buckhead, a commercial and residential district in …
