Hotel Ansley
The Hotel Ansley was a hotel that occupied the south side of Williams Street between Forsyth and Fairlie streets in the Fairlie-Poplar district of Downtown Atlanta. It was built in 1913 by Jerome B. Pound, publisher of the Chattanooga News in Chattanooga, Tennessee,[1] and named for Edwin P. Ansley, developer of the Ansley Park neighborhood; an estimated 5000 guests attended the opening of the $1,000,000 property. The property was originally managed by M.I. and Frank Harrell.[2]
In 1930 radio station WGST moved its studios to the hotel.[3]
In 1939, the hotel had 400 rooms each with en-suite bathroom and radio.[4]
In 1952 the property was sold to the Dinkler hotel chain (once boasting "3000 Rooms in Southern Hotels") and was renamed the Dinkler Ansley,[5] and later in 1953 (40 years after its construction) renamed again to the Dinkler Plaza Hotel.[6]
The hotel was razed in 1972.[7]
