Downtown Atlanta, Late 1940s-Early 1950s: Photos by Claude Suttle

I wasn't sure this was a photo of Atlanta until I found this image at the Atlanta History Center's website. It shows the demolition of the Bailey's Supreme Coffee Warehouse at bottom right.

The elevation at top center is either Kennesaw Mountain or Stone Mountain. Does anyone know Atlanta history enough to know if this shot was taken facing north or facing east?

I didn't recognize this Art Deco structure...

... but managed to find the photo below on this website. It's the Atlanta City Hall Building.


I'm not certain about the rest of the photos, but they were most likely taken in Atlanta. Notice the streetcar in the first shot.
