If you needed a killer “opera cape” in Atlanta 100 years ago, the Samuel Gans Co. was your spot.⁠ ⁠ In the 1910s, Atlanta’s Mitchell Street was a thriving thoroughfare of both hotels and street-level retail shops. ⁠ ⁠ One of those shops was the Samuel Gans Company which billed itself as “the largest retail store in the Terminal District.”⁠ ⁠ Gans sold mostly apparel—men’s trousers & suits, ladies’ broadcloth coats & dresses, and even “opera capes.”⁠ ⁠ Gans operated on Mitchell Street from about 1907 - 1911 before relocating to a larger space.⁠ ⁠ Give the images a swipe to see⁠ ⁠ → What the building looks like now, and⁠ → How the employees of Gans aided a performer known as "the handcuff king."⁠ ⁠ P.S. — Speaking of historic Hotel Row...⁠ ⁠ The retail spaces filling up however a few more spots are still up for grabs.

When it opened 116 years ago, could the builders ever imagine this? What began as a simple hotel with a fruit & postcard stand is about to be transformed into Atlanta’s next great entrepreneurial hub. We recently got the South Downtown and Atlanta Tech Village teams together to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Atlanta Tech Village - Sylvan (named after the Sylvan Hotel which occupied the building in the 20th century). Since launching in 2012, ATV has grown to become the 4th largest tech hub in the nation. After more than a decade in Buckhead, ATV is expanding its presence in South Downtown. Construction has started as ATV transforms this historic property into a thriving workspace for Atlanta’s brightest entrepreneurs, doers, and creatives. ATV Sylvan is slated to open in early 2025, and you can apply for membership now (link in bio). We love having you in the neighborhood, Atlanta Tech Village!
