The old clubhouse for the Bobby Jones Golf Course in Buckhead could be put to new use. On May 7, the Atlanta City Council will consider a plan to turn the building into a performance hall.

Jun-Ching Lin, a musician with the Atlanta Symphony, is one of the people behind the proposal. He said the roughly 70-year-old clubhouse is perfectly built for chamber music.

“That is the classic acoustic shape called the shoe box where it’s very long, it’s very narrow and it’s tall,” Lin said.
