City's Iconic Landmarks To Be Featured In New Book Of Historic Chattanooga Pictures

Iconic landmarks of Chattanooga will be featured in a new book of old Chattanooga photos.

Those included range from the courthouses and city halls to businesses that once anchored a very different downtown.

It includes a different view of the exquisite Masonic Lodge at Seventh and Cherry. The site remains a surface parking lot.  

There are rare photos of four handsome fire halls that, unfortunately, were torn down along with the most ornate - Fire Hall #1 on Carter Street.

The printing of Chattanooga in Old Photos will be limited to 800 copies.

It is the fourth book in the collection called the Chattanooga Photo Books made possible by Chattanoogan.com. The others are The Remarkable Stokes Collection, Railroads in and Around Chattanooga and Paul Hiener's Historic Chattanooga.

The new book includes almost 300 pages. It features hundreds of scenes from downtown, local landmarks, rivers and streams, parades, medical, banks, entertainment, parks and cemeteries and auto and livery.

Chattanooga in Old Photos, when it is available around Oct. 15, will be sold at Zarzour's Restaurant on Rossville Avenue behind the Fire Hall #1 on Main Street. Other books in the Chattanooga Photo Series can be purchased there from Shannon Fuller.
