Marietta St. circa 1920

Courtesy of John Steinheimer, here's a photo looking northwest along Marietta Street sometime around 1920 or so. We see the Henry Grady statue, which was erected in 1891 and still stands. Also still standing is the Walton Place building, completed in 1907, when it was known as the Georgia Railway and Power Building. It can be seen above Grady's head and slightly to the right. The majestic building with the towers on top was originally the U.S. Post Office and Custom House. It was later converted to serve as Atlanta's City Hall, and it filled that role from 1910 until 1930, when the Mitchell Street City Hall building was completed at which point it was demolished.
