Boyd Lewis

 

 

 

Boyd Lewis luckily lived in The Dump on Peachtree at 10th, as did Bud Foote. Also luckily Boyd took lots of photos. When the city belatedly decided to restore the building where Margaret Mitchell had written ‘Gone With The Wind’ , it was already burned. Boyd’s photos were used to recreate the building as it had been as Peggy Mitchell’s beloved Dump.

  1. Does anyone have a photo of the house that sat on the corner of 14th and Peachtree (1170 Peachtree Street)? Gorin’s was eventually added to the front of it much later. My dad grew up in that house (his mother ran a boarding house in the 40’s there), and he doesn’t have a picture of the house. I can’t find one anywhere and would love it if I can find one for him.
