For much of the 20th century, 10th street west of Peachtree looked pretty different in Midtown. In fact, it essentially dead-ended into this building at the intersection with Crescent Street. To continue west on 10th, you had to go a short distance north on Crescent first. In 1969, thru imminent domain, the city reconnected 10th Street from W Peachtree all the way to Peachtree. The old street was renamed “Old 10th Street”. This building, which was constructed in 1916, survived the creation of the new street but was finally demolished in 1988 when they widened 10th Street to the size it is today. In the old photo above, you can see 10th Street just behind the building on the left AND the “Old 10th Street” to the right of the building. The two block stretch of “Old 10th Street” existed until the late 90s when construction began on the new Federal Reserve. 2024-07-06 06:11:43 For much of t.. 112 -72% 3 -67%
The Zahner building, built in 1922, at the northwest corner of Peachtree and 10th. Today, this is the site of the atlantafed. It was demolished sometime in the late 80s I believe. Music Midtown used to be at this location in the 90s when it was a very large empty lot. When this office building was new, within a two block radius there was a dentist, lawyers office, post office, dance studio, Woolworths, a paint store, a bank, two mechanics, two plumbers, two electrical companies, 2 barbers and two hair dressers, 12 small grocery stores, four drug stores, a fish market, a meat market, and dairy and a movie theater. Cha Gio moved to 132 10th Street and closed in the 2000s. That restaurant space eventually became Henry’s (also now closed). 2024-07-04 06:14:08 The Zahner building, bu.. 194 -51% 9 -2%
Built in 1939, the Gordon Theatre (so named for the street its on in the West End neighborhood, now Ralph David Abernathy Blvd) ran for decades before the neighborhood fell into disrepair. It then became a porno theater. Today, it is the Shrine of the Black Madonna, a pan African Orthodox Church. 2023-12-30 04:09:02 Built in 1939, the Gordon.. 196 -51% 3 -67%
What is now Ponce de Leon between Argonne and Penn used to be a massive ravine with Clear Creek at the bottom. It was eventually filled in with dirt and garbage later in the century and then paved. Several views here. The first is the horse pulled streetcar from 1874. The next is the same spot today facing south looking up to Ponce. Notice the Kodak building is in the far left corner. The third is a Birds Eye view of the area from 1892 and the final photo is the same area facing north from Ponce 2023-11-18 03:45:12 What is now Ponce de Leon.. 411 +4% 6 -35%
Here’s a panorama photo of Atlanta taken by George Barnard in 1863, just before it was burned by Sherman. The photo was taken from around what is today Piedmont and Ellis street, looking towards the west. The entirety of the city was in what we consider downtown today and consisted of little more than 3000 buildings. The city limits extended only to North Avenue. The last image shows Ellis street going up towards the horizon (facing west): that is the intersection with Peachtree Street at the top of the hill. 2023-07-28 23:42:59 Here’s a panorama photo.. 814 +105% 20 +117%
In 1890 an artificial lake was created across the street from what is now Ponce City Market. At the time, the land where PCM sits was a natural spring that itself became a tourist attraction. This lake was dried out, filled in, and a baseball park was constructed on the land in 1907. The Atlanta Crackers played here until 1965 when they moved to the new Atlanta Stadium and this baseball park was demolished. In 1987 a giant 380,000 square feet “Great Mall of China” was built - billing itself as a “new emporium for Chinese arts and crafts”. It didn’t last long and around 1998 the current shopping center was built - Midtown Place. And now you know why there is a street called Lakeview Avenue here but no lake. This photo is circa 1895. I also included a bonus photo with a close but not exact approximation of the view when it was a baseball field AND a birdseye view drawing from 1892. The line running up and down on the right side of the image is the BeltLine. 2023-01-25 04:42:43 In 1890 an arti.. 709 +79% 17 +84%
Here we are on Ponce, looking west towards Boulevard in the distance. This photo was likely taken between 1921-1923, just before Sears had purchase the property to build a catalog warehouse. Prior to Sears ownership this was an a amusement Park and mineral spring (1870-1920) that at one point fed a lake on the other side of the street. That lake was filled in around 1906 to build a baseball park. You can see the wooden stands of Spiller Park on the right - this is where the Atlanta Crackers played baseball, and later the Atlanta Black Crackers. This photo gives context as to why Ponce is such a wide boulevard - originally this was just a privately owned trolley line from Peachtree Street. Only later in the 1800s were public roads built, on either side of the trolley line 2022-12-15 22:50:13 Here we are on Ponce, loo.. 895 +126% 20 +117%
Did you know that “The Big Green Egg” was founded in Atlanta and perfected with the help of Georgia Tech? In the 1970s, Ed Fisher opened up the Pachinko House, to sell upright Japanese pinball machines. He also imported Japanese Kamado grills. When he began demonstrating them by cooking wings outside the store to drive traffic, sales took off. Eventually, he improved on the ceramic, with the help of Georgia Tech faculty, added dimples and the unique green color and the rest is history. 2022-12-14 22:09:43 Did you know that “Th.. 320 -19% 10 +8%

67 years ago yesterday, the first Waffle House opened its doors in Avondale Estates. Did you know in the early 1960s you could actually order a Chick-fil-A sandwich at Waffle House? Truett Cathy, owner of the Dwarf Grill, licensed the Chick-fil-A sandwich to Waffle House (and 50 other eateries) in 1964. The arrangement ended when Truett Cathy opened his first chickfila location in 1967. 2022-09-07 01:36:28 67 years ago yesterday, t.. 578 +46% 14 +52%
Dora Stainers of 562 1/2 Decatur St. She was 39 years old at the time of this photograph in 1915. With only 4 days of schooling in her life, she began working in an Atlanta mill at just 7 years old, and had been doing mill work for 32 years straight. Her first wage was 20 cents a day. The most she ever made was $1.75 a day. At the time she was out of a job and looking for work. Her little girl Lilie is the same age she was when she started at the mill, but the mother says (inscribed on the rear of the photo), 2022-08-26 00:42:08 Dora Stainers of 562 1/2 .. 275 -31% 8 -13%

Before it was parktavern, it was the pro shop for the Piedmont Park Golf Course. The public golf course was constructed in 1928 and was open until 1979. The granite structure was originally built in 1905 as horse stables. 2022-08-19 03:51:49 Before it was parktavern,.. 545 +37% 11 +19%

Based in Chamblee, Irvindale Farms served Atlanta and the surrounding counties for 30+ years and was at one point the largest independent dairy in Georgia. This building at 1139 Spring Street was built in 1940 as the primary distribution center for the city of Atlanta. When this photo was taken in 1944, milk cost 20¢ a quart (about $3.30 today). 2022-07-18 02:08:25 Based in Chamblee, Irvin.. 160 -60% 5 -46%

On this day in 1968 at 6:01 PM, Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated by James Earl Ray in Memphis. His last words were to Ben Branch, a musician and bandleader. Ben Branch and his band were in town to play at the rally supporting the striking sanitation workers. Delayed by bad weather, Ben Branch arrived at the Lorraine Motel just before 6:00 PM. Dr. King, along with Branch’s close friend Jesse Jackson, greeted Branch from the Balcony just outside the motel window.

John Heisman was the godfather of football and the head coach at Georgia Tech from 1904-1919 (winning the national championship in 1917). During this time, he was the driving force behind the creation and legalizing of the forward pass, the creation of the onside kick, the center snap, and dividing the game into quarters. So, as many of you celebrate the national championship for UGA today, be sure to also give thanks to Georgia Tech for their historic contribution to this Bulldogs win. 2022-01-12 03:37:55 John Heisman was the godf.. 162 -59% 5 -46%

This before photo was sent to me by beltlinepix and was taken in the early 2000s right around the time Ryan Gravel’s thesis was gaining traction to transform the beltline. Check out more old photos of the beltline on his page - he also has several for sale on his website. I took a bit of liberty in the “now” photo to show a broader view of the location.
