Notes
Marietta Street in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the original seven streets in the city along with Decatur, Whitehall, Peachtree, Pryor, Lloyd (now Central), and Alabama. It leads from Atlanta to the town of Marietta, Georgia. The street is one of five that intersects downtown at Five Points, leading northwest and forming the southern border of the Fairlie-Poplar District, continuing on through the Luckie Marietta District and terminating at the junction with West Marietta Street, Brady Avenue, and 8th Street. Before the Civil War, Atlanta’s finest residences were built along both sides of Marietta Street, extending west, approximately one mile from Five Points.
