Among the buildings seen
in this 1955 photo is the former Atlanta Federal Savings
& Loan building, just left of center, at the corner of
Marietta and Broad Streets. At some point, its stately
facade was sheathed in aluminum to give it an updated
appearance that hasn't aged very well. These days,
it's an apartment/condo complex known as The
Metropolitan.
Also visible is a small sliver of the Kimball House hotel, which was demolished in 1959, the Peachtree Arcade (just to the right of the Atlanta Federal building) and the State Capitol. Copyright Atlanta Journal-Constitution, courtesy of Georgia State University, file #AJCNS1950-10-00-s.
