    This was the second Kimball Hotel, built in 1885; the first was built in 1870 and burned to the ground after a fire was started by a “careless cigar-smoking lemon dealer.” [(Photo of the original Kimball House.)](http://atlantasupperwestside.com/Site/Fulton_files/kimballH1870.jpg)

    It’s a shame seeing all these old, ornate buildings destroyed by fire. Is it financially reasonable to make buildings like this nowadays, or have costs/regulations gone up too high?

    Boy this place was architecturally a jumbled mess.

  4. Marta_McLanta says

    I think that building to the left is actually still there
