View of the first Georgia State Capitol Building in Atlanta, Georgia, located at the corner of Marietta Street and Forsyth Street.
In 1870, the state of Georgia purchased the recently completed Atlanta Opera House at the corner of Marietta and Forsyth Streets in downtown Atlanta, Georgia to house the state government. Atlanta had been designated the temporary state capital in 1868 and became the permanent capitol in 1877. The state legislature continued to meet in the building until 1889, when the current Georgia State Capitol building was completed. - Local Identifier:
