Atlanta Utility Works
Hand-painted illustrations of fertilizer equipment at the abandoned Atlanta Utility Works shops in Atlanta, Georgia. Little is known about this early 20th century factory, but it was identified in the East Point Industrial District National Register Nomination form as a one-and-one-half-story,long, rectangular brick building with clerestory and segmental arched windows. The form states that AUW "was another company that produced cotton oil, fertilizer, and farm machinery until the 1920s when the land-based economy began to decline... [representing] the epitome of Henry Grady's vision for a modern "new South" at the end of the 19th century."
The building has since burned down, with all of the priceless hand-drawn illustrations of agricultural implements inside of it.
