Description
The Ansley Hotel was an upscale hotel located on Forsyth St. at the corners of what are now Luckie St. and Williams St. close to Peachtree St. MARTA station. It is now a Dunkin and a parking lot.
It is difficult to date these plates since there are very little examples of this "AH" logo. One listing for a silver cocktail server with the logo believes it was from the very beginning of the hotel's operations (it opened in 1913), but we cannot find a source for this.
An image on Wikimedia Commons that dates to the 1910s appears to have chairs with the AH logo.
The Dinkler Hotel Co. purchased the hotel in 1927 and it was named to Dinkler Plaza Hotel in 1953, making this plate increasingly unlikely to be from later than the 50s.
The hotel was demolished in 1972, shortly before the MARTA excavations.
