Georgian Terrace Hotel

The Geogian Terrace Hotel is located in downtown Atlanta, Ga. It is part of the historic Fox Theater District. The hotel opened in 1911. When Fox Theater opened up accross the street in 1929, the road in between the hotel and theater was shut down and a red carpet was rolled accross the street from door to door. That is because all the acts stayed here at the hotel. In 1935, editor Harold Latham stayed here on a visit to Atlanta. He was in search of new writes. While there, he heard of a woman named Peggy Mitchel Marsh who had written a book based around the Civil War but she would let nobody read it. After attemps to get it, she finally met him in the lobby here on the day he was to head back to New Orleans. She handed him the book and said it hadn't been revised yet but he can have it if he wants it. That book was called Gone With The Wind. When the movie was made, the premeir was held at Loews Theater down the street. The cast actually stayed here and were in the parade that led from the hotel to the theater.
