He arrived in Atlanta in 1867 and was instrumental in convincing the constitutional convention of Georgia to move the state capitol from Milledgeville to Atlanta shortly thereafter. Kimball subsequently constructed the city's first capitol building. In 1869, Kimball helped establish the Atlanta Canal and Water Company, which later built Atlanta's first sewer system. He was also active in railroad construction projects throughout Georgia. In addition, Kimball built two hotels in Atlanta. The first Kimball House, the largest hotel in Atlanta at that time, opened in 1870. When it burned in 1883, Kimball replaced it with a second hotel, also known as the Kimball House, which opened in 1885.image/jpegVIS 170.106.001ahc170106001.jpgAtlanta, Ga. : Kenan Research Centerhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Atlanta History Photograph CollectionHouses--Georgia--AtlantaPainting--Georgia--AtlantaFacades--Georgia--AtlantaArchitecture, Queen Anne--Georgia--AtlantaKimball, H.
