Biography
Raised in
With her husband William J. "Bill" Stanley III, she co-founded Stanley, Love-Stanley, P.C. in 1978 which has become the second largest African-American architectural practice in the South.[2][6] Her work with the NOMA included the creation of formal connections with the American Institute of Architects. During the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, Love-Stanley designed and oversaw the design of the Olympic Aquatic Center in a joint venture,[7][8] and the installation of a "Celebrate Africa" exhibit and performance. Later she provided design services for Youth Art Connection, a gallery and art hub for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta.
Love-Stanley served on several historic preservation boards as well as on the City of Atlanta's Zoning Review Board. Love-Stanley served for eight years on the Board of Directors of the Atlanta Midtown Improvement District which oversees capital improvement projects in Midtown Atlanta. She also supported the effort to designate Atlanta's West End neighborhood as a national historic district, volunteering to review documents, prepare drawings and serving as a consultant.[5] While on the board of the Atlanta Preservation Center, she stopped the demolition of several landmark buildings and led the restoration of the Herndon Home Museum (once owned by Alonzo Herndon, one of the wealthiest African-Americans in the U.S.). Love-Stanley also contributed her services pro bono to the design and development of the Sweet Auburn Avenue project which worked to revitalize the area in Atlanta around the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park and APEX Museum, just east of Downtown Atlanta.
She has won many community and professional service citations for her work in redevelopment of the historic districts of Atlanta as well as her advocacy for minority inclusion in the architectural profession.
