Did you know that downtown Atlanta’s very first parking deck, the one that was destined to sire dozens of off-spring, still stands tall and proud along Peachtree Center Avenue?

A great post on Pecanne Log reports that the “Ivy Street Garage” opened to the public with 600 glorious parking spaces on June 3, 1925 and was deemed “one of the sites of Atlanta.”

But good ol’ granddad ain’t housing the “most comfortable parking you’ve ever known” anymore.  Nowadays it hosts chemistry labs and lecture halls.  And if you attempted to drive a car up it’s painted ramps today, you’d send hundreds of GSU students fleeing.

Yep, according to the Log, Atlanta’s oldest parking deck is GSU’s Kell Hall.
