Cherokee Rose Tourist Camp

Seen below is a postcard for the Cherokee Rose Tourist Camp, a collection of small roadside cabins that provided overnight lodging for 1940s travelers on their way through Atlanta. By the mid 1950s it was gone. The 1945 City Directory places this spot on what is now West Marietta Street, between Longley and Tilden Streets, almost right across the street from Carver's Country Kitchen, a funky home cooking restaurant that's earned a reputation for dishing out southern favorites.

I'm not sure, but I imagine this place was part of the same operation that ran the Cherokee Rose Court motel over on Northside Drive. These days the site of the former Cherokee Rose Tourist Camp is now an industrial site that is used for the storage and distribution of some kind of an oil product, presumably, as the sign out front reads Mobil Lubricants.
