- Description:
- View of unidentified children playing baseball on a field in Piedmont Park in northeast Atlanta, Georgia (now the Midtown area of the city), with an unidentified spectator watching from afar.
The Gentleman's Driving Club (now the Piedmont Driving Club) purchased 189 acres of land in 1887 for the purposes of creating an exclusive club. On this ground, Piedmont Park was established by the Piedmont Exposition Company, to hold expositions and fairs. These fairs would include the Piedmont Exposition of 1887 and the Cotton States and International Exposition of 1895. In 1904, the City of Atlanta purchased Piedmont Park. The park is currently run through a public-private partnership. - Local Identifier:
