Description: “The Haunted Pillar” on Broad St. This pillar is from the clock tower that stood on the Lower Market that was destroyed in 1878 by a freak cyclone. It is called “The Haunted Pillar” because each time someone has attempted to move it, someone has either been seriously injured or killed. In the background, the Georgia Railroad Bank headquarters skyscraper, built in 1970, is visible. From the vehicles depicted, the likely date of the image is early to mid 1970s.
