The King Plow Art Center

ABOUT US

The King Plow Art Center is a turn-of-the-century renovated warehouse campus located just minutes from downtown and midtown Atlanta in the city's vibrant Westside neighborhood. A blend of creative businesses, richly textured brick and wood, natural courtyards, and an eclectic group of individuals combine for the city's most unique live/work studios. With immediate access to all that Atlanta has to offer, and offices available for any small to mid-size organization, King Plow is an an ideal place to live, work, or put on memorable events.

The King Plow Arts Center was once the home of the King Plow Company which manufactured equipment from 1902 to 1986. In 1902, Clyde Lanier King and two partners bought the Walker-Sims Plow Company which was operating in several of the older buildings still on site. The company was reorganized and called the Atlanta Agricultural Works. In 1906 the name was changed to the Atlanta Plow Company. In 1928, Towers and Sullivan Manufacturing Company of Rome Georgia was purchased by the Atlanta Plow Company. The two companies were merged five years later and the men and machinery of the T & S were moved to Atlanta. Also at that time the name was changed to reflect Mr. Kings purchase of his partners shares, hence the King Plow Company. Combining all these operations in Atlanta necessitated the 1936-38 expansion of the factory to its present size of 165,000 square feet (4 acres under roof). During its prime, the factory employed over 300 people and shipped equipment throughout the United States, Mexico and South America. Unfortunately sales declined until the farm crisis of the 1980's put the King Plow Company out of business, opening the doors for what it's become today.
