The Midtown Archive

The Junior League Nearly New Shop on 10th Street in 1954.  Midtown Atlanta.

(via Atlanta History Center Album. Tenth Street)

Peachtree at 5th Street looking south in 1956.  Midtown Atlanta.

Tudor home at 1308 Peachtree Street in 1955.  Midtown Atlanta.

1112 Peachtree Street in 1958.  I’m mildly obsessed with the Dutch gables and the Doric columns on the second story porch. Midtown Atlanta. 

1950 view of a house at 6th and Piedmont Avenue, at that time housing a chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.  Midtown Atlanta.

1950 photo of 10th St and Piedmont Ave. Midtown Atlanta.

Peachtree at 6th Street looking north, circa 1955.  The building to the right eventually held Backstreet, the large building in the foreground on the left is now the site of Gordon Biersch, and the structure in the left background is now Peachtree Lofts.  Midtown Atlanta

5th and Peachtree Street looking south, 1956. Midtown Atlanta

Technically in SoNo instead of Midtown, but such an interesting house I had to include it. The picture is captioned Prescott Place @ Peachtree Street, 1955.  The closest I can find to Prescott Place is Prescott Street, which extends for a tiny distance off West Peachtree Street, behind Emory University Hospital Midtown.  My guess is that the rest of the street was closed at some point for the hospital’s expansion.
