About This Vintage Postcard
Take a dip into Atlanta leisure history with this vibrant linen-era postcard. Titled "Briarcliff Gardens, Swimming Pool, Atlanta, GA.," the scene captures the public pool and bathhouse that were once part of the expansive Briarcliff estate belonging to Coca-Cola heir Asa "Buddie" Candler Jr. Opened to the public in the early 1930s, the pool was a popular community recreation spot featuring a large central fountain and multiple slides. This postcard preserves a view of the facility during its mid-century prime, before the estate transitioned into institutional use.
