Nostalgia & History > Atlanta's Terminal Station South Tower Torn DownDate: 06/22/18 14:16 Atlanta's Terminal Station South Tower Torn Down Author: NKPSOUTHERN A few days ago demolition crews tore down the last building associated with Atlanta's Terminal Station. Pic. number 1 was taken last year. Pic. number two was taken today. Sad to see another piece of history disappear into the dust of time.

They were used that way for a while, but they were originally installed when Terminal Station closed in 1970 and the Southern office buildings hosted a waiting room and ticket window for the Nancy Hanks.

Here is a gallery of Atlanta Terminal pictures from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: https://www.myajc.com/lifestyles/flashback-fotos-atlanta-terminal-station-1905-1970/VSD8tEHeqqywYcBDk0eaEJ/#nQhpzJQeTDCmlupq-saTHA Number 17/25 shows our south tower as FDR's funeral train arrives from Warm Springs GA.
