Flashback photos: Atlanta buildings and skyline, 1930-1949
It was the era of World War II, FDR and the Terminal Hotel fire (the second one). Atlanta’s ever-changing cityscape was going through changes, as it always has. The new Central Post Office (now the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Building) went up, and new streets and viaducts were going in. The streetcars were still running, but that would end as the final line shut down in 1949. And, of course, now they’re back. See what the city looked like in those days.
