How First Opera House Was Built in Atlanta
Three old books in E P McBurney’s possession reveal the Atlanta Opera House Building Association’s early history. Receipts from 1686 show $600 raised for Marietta Street land near Forsyth, with war tax stamps canceling each payment, and lists of prominent subscribers backing a $70,000 capital stock to fund construction.
