Atlanta History
A Tour of West End in 1890
Written by Joe

What a picturesque part of town back in 1890. Rolling fields, trails through the woods and rustic homes for the wealthy of Atlanta who could live out here and take the streetcar into town to work.

Looking back to the 1850s from 1914
Written by Joe

I found this interesting interview in the Atlanta Constitution dated Sunday, May 31, 1914. A reporter spent the afternoon with the widow of Atlanta's second mayor, Dr. Benjamin Bomar and asked what life was like in the early years they spent in town. They moved here in 1847 after spending their first years together in Dahlonega and the doctor quickly moved into retail and politics. He died a few years after the end of the civil war. There are spots I couldn't quite make out and those are marked "XX", hopefully I can correct those at the library but for the time being here is that interview. Enjoy
