Sears, Roebuck & Company, Atlanta, 1936.

    I believe this shot is on North Avenue looking North at the back of what is now City Hall East. Plans have been ok'ed for the redevelopment of this site by Jamestown Properties, the same firm that redeveloped the White Provisions site on Atlanta's west side.

    Yes, I agree. It's taken from the back of the building from North Ave. BTW, I remember going there as a child in the early 70's before they closed. Also, I lived next door in the Ford Factory (now they are lofts) and would go visit and explore the Sears Building (a.k.a. City Hall...LOL) in my free time. It was, when I lived there ('95-'97) mostly vacant. The Atlanta Police Dept. took up some of it, but otherwise it was vacant. Funny enough, they would let me by police security and let me roam the building. There were lots of old desks, phones, antiques, etc. Always wanted to "snatch" something, but my Mom and Dad raised me better. :) Also, on the top floor, you can see the 'tower" in the center of the picture with the antenna on top, there is a water tower there! We would climb up the ladder and look in...it was still full of H2O and tempting on those hot summer days of ATL. Just my brush with history...

    Definitely a view from North Avenue. Cracker Stadium was on the other side of the building. May be my grandparents in the foreground. We did plenty of shopping here back in the day. J.C. Higgins sporting and camping gear and my brother had a Ted Williams baseball glove from here which became mine when he lost interest in baseball.

    "Nan is already a spoiled child" wonder what that meant to the source of the line?

    More about "spoiled" Anna J. Gallant (1902-1936): sevensteeples.com/gallant1.html She was mother to Maurice Roy Sears (1920- 1985), and wife to Carroll Ernest Sears (married 1922). She only lived to age 34, but there are photos of her as an adult, on the fourth page of the same website: sevensteeples.com/gallant4.html

    pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) That's a great story, thanks for finding it. After seeing this poster from Hines: I'm thinking that perhaps the "spoiled" description is not the modern definition of spoiled by pampering, but a more general sense of decayed, or marred, induced by the soul-deadening work.
