A little history
Marietta Street was one of Atlanta’s early commercial and industrial arteries, lined with warehouses, factories and rail-served businesses that helped the young city grow. As industry moved away in the later 1900s, many of those sturdy brick buildings sat empty. Starting in the 1990s and 2000s, developers and artists began converting them into lofts, studios and restaurants, and today the corridor is known for its authentic industrial character.
