The columns of the former Equitable Building, Atlanta's first skyscraper, long occupied the plaza on Peachtree Street in front of the current Equitable Building. While they have vanished during recent renovations, hopefully they will soon be restored.

Eight columns were rescued from the ill-fated Equitable building following its demolition in the 1970s and brought to Marietta by a developer. Involved in a very strange lawsuit in the 1990s, some of the columns were removed, though three may still remain somewhere along the Chattahoochee.

Erected as a monument to Atlanta's intelligence before the 1996 Olympic Games, the monument is comprised of large remnants of the facade of the old Carnegie Library. The way in which the pieces of the building were procured remain a bit of a mystery, and the man responsible seems to have taken the secret to his grave.

Above the northbound and southbound platforms at Five Points MARTA station rises the facade of the Eiseman Building which had once stood on Whitehall (now Peachtree) Street. As the building was demolished in 1977, workers used mini jackhammers to remove 844 pieces of the facade to re-erect in the station.

Margaret Mitchell made up a bunch of stuff in Gone With The Wind, but one thing that really did exist was the grandiose Leyden House. One of the grand mansions on Peachtree Street, not surprisingly it was torn down. The columns of the antebellum abode can now be found adorning an old school turned apartment complex.
