“The aerial of the MARTA construction is from the late 1970s when they were filling in the huge hole that was dug to build the station and the tunnel. The lovely concrete elevator shaft shown on the courthouse lawn once stood in front of 111 Sycamore Street and was removed as part of some improvements completed in 1995. “

We have an entire file of these photos. Made me realize that we need to go back and add dates to these photos to put them in context. The aerial of the MARTA construction goes back to the late 1970s when the original station was being built. The one of the plaza showing that lovely concrete elevator shaft that once stood outside the entrance to Birdie’s dates back to the early 1990s. Most of the before shots of the retail storefronts date back to the mid 1980s.
