And the Ramblers after that.
And even the Crimson Panthers for a bit (An Alabama grad President ripped it off).

Up until last year we had a classroom building for 75 years that was a converted parking garage.

We were literally founded next to the railroad tracks and next to Underground Atlanta. When the building that was the football practice facility was purchased on 888 MLK, they actually found secret compartment in the warehouse foundation that may have been bootleggers hiding spots.The complex is now the Soccer Complex and MARTA elevated rail goes right by the edge of the field. So we have a long railroad association, hence the Sound the Horn campaign.

Several buildings on campus are or were pre WW II office building with a couple being pre WW I.

GSU and GT are the closest located campuses to each other in FBS.

Wow. That may have to get a prize. That is really fascinating. I’m just about half-way through a fantastic bio about Harriet Tubman. Highly recommend it.

One other neat thing on our campus is the reconstructed Ancient Roman crane that our engineering dept did when they were on (2010?) the Discovey Channel’s extreme engineering or something. They also recreated an aqueduct and the dome of the Pantheon, etc. This is the only that was saved, and it’s now it’s located next to the Architecture building.
