Atlanta’s Five Points

A pictoral history of Atlanta’s five points from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century at the Georgia State University Special Collections and Archives. Below is the Flatiron building, Atlanta’s oldest skyscraper. Behind it is Muse’s department store.

See full size image. If you stood here now, you would see Woodruff park to the left and the Aderhold building on your right. Other photographs of interest in the collection include various views of Five Points and the surrounding area through the decades. I recommend viewing the entire collection.
