- Description:
- Description on Verso: "One of the most interesting, and certainly one of the busiest, buildings in downtown Atlanta was Terminal Station on Spring Street. Designed by architect P. Thornton Mayre, it opened on May 13, 1905. Describing the occasion, The Journal reported: 'At that auspicious moment when the station was formally opened, Captain James W. English, bank president and capitalist threw aside his dignity and, Panama hat in hand, led the Sixteenth Infantry band through the main entrance of the station, while the populace, gathered to witness the opening cheered and applauded.' Not long after World War II, passenger trains began to dwindle, and Terminal Station was demolished in 1972, as was Union Station on Forsyth Street that same year. Now Atlanta's only passenger depot is Brookwood Station on Peachtree Road."
