Whitehall Street viaduct

This undated postcard shows the view looking north along Whitehall Street toward Five Points and Peachtree Street. As you probably already know, Peachtree used to begin at Five Points and proceed northward; in the 1980s, several blocks of Whitehall Street south of Five Points were renamed Peachtree Street in an effort to revitalize what had become a far less glamorous and prosperous part of town. While the postcard's precise date is a mystery, it was definitely 1901 or later as that's when the viaduct spanning the railroad tracks was completed. The lower photo shows what this view looked like in 2004. Beneath the 2004 picture is a photo taken at the railroad track level, looking west toward the Whitehall viaduct, seen in the postcard.
