I found reference to a picture a picture taken on June 28th, 1946... so it's been around at least since then. On December 22, 2000 the company "filed Chapter 11 under case number 75316. Assets and labilities were listed as $2 million and $1.3 million respectively. The firm also owes South Trust Bank nearly $1 million." So at some point between then and 2002, the owner just abandoned the place. Walked away and left everything with it. Excerpt from a city PDF: ... is a former electroplater that abandoned its manufacturing plant in downtown Atlanta. EPD’s contractor began removal activities at the site, which included characterization and inventory of the waste, on November 2002. Waste removal activities were completed, including decontamination of the facility, in May 2003. Approximately 305,000 gallons of hazardous waste were removed from the site. Of this, approximately 240,000 gallons of this was electroplating sludge pumped from a 30-foot deep pit inside the building. Approximately 57,000 gallons of non-hazardous debris were also removed from the site. The total cost for removal activities was $945,987 from the state Hazardous Waste Trust Fund." On November 3rd, 2003, the owner passed away. Excerpt from his obituary: "He was a member of SAMF, NAMF, and the American Electroplaters Society. ..., under his guidance, received recognition from the NAACP for its support of racial equality during the early days of the Civil Rights movement. " I also have a photo from April 4th, 2004 which pictures the place in a much better condition. So with it only being a little over a year since, this place has gone down the tubes fast. Guess that's what happens when there's no owner to lock it up and keep it that way.  Media Coverage  Future Plans Apartment complex.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries A reason for good boots Tue, Jul 12th, 2005 posted by toeknee 14 pictures blackomegax's mini-op pictures Mon, Dec 12th, 2005 posted by BOX 10 pictures mm's 20051210 mini-op pix Wed, Dec 28th, 2005 posted by MutantMandias 10 pictures bZ in atl, mini-op 12/10 Tue, Jan 17th, 2006 posted by binaryzero 4 pictures Peach's Pixels Thu, Jun 8th, 2006 posted by rotten peach 7 pictures still infested Sat, Aug 13th, 2011 posted by ScreenAce 10 pictures Historical Sun, Jul 27th, 2014 posted by turtl 1 pictures Google Street images Mon, Dec 11th, 2023 posted by fr00tCake 6 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links Historic images - Atlanta Time Machine  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
