- Description:
- The old Atlanta City Hall, shown here in 1864, served as the first state capitol building in the city during the last half of 1868. Today the current capitol building stands on the site of the old city hall, on a hill in downtown Atlanta.
Photograph of the old Atlanta, Georgia city hall. The two-story brick structure features a domed cupola rising from the center of the roof. Several tall trees grow in the surrounding yard.
Built in 1854, this building served briefly as the home to three governments when it housed the General Assembly, Atlanta City Hall, and Fulton County Courthouse beginning in July 1868. In January 1869, the legislature moved to the Kimball Opera House, where it remained until 1889. - Metadata URL:
