Beautiful concept art for what became the Arts Center MARTA Station.

It comes from “The Impact of Rapid Transit on Metropolitan Atlanta, 1968” (Source: GSU Digital Collections).

The view here is to the west along 15th Street, with the Woodruff Arts Center building in the foreground. This is in fact the exact spot where the station and rails went, but the buildings atop them in the rendering did not end up happening. Which is a shame, I think.

I’m not a fan of the pedestrian bridges over the streets in the illustration, but I’m a big fan of buildings over rail stations.
