Atlanta Georgia Eternal Light of the Confederacy Perpetual Flame Postcard

Description: Atlanta Georgia Eternal Light of the Confederacy Perpetual Flame Postcard Atlanta installed 50 gaslights in 1855, and they were first lit at Christmas that year. Like many other cities across the nation, Atlanta could point to city street lights fueled by gas as a sign of progress and prosperity. The lamppost survived the war, and became a local landmark with its battle damage. It was moved to stand near City Hall until 1880, then sent back to its original location, where the monument was dedicated in 1919 and rededicated for the 1939 Gone With the Wind release. In the 1980s it went below ground, standing near the restrooms of a MARTA railroad station in the city’s Underground Atlanta retail area. In 2017 it was deaccessioned by city moved to the Atlanta History Center, where it has a prominent place in a Civil War exhibit.
