Our previous Mystery Photo

Our Jan. 25 photo, “Close-up mystery,” is what we think of the House of Aaron — Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium where slugger Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s home run record in 1974. 

Congratulations to several readers who correctly identified the close-up: Ross Lenhart of Stone Mountain, Ga.; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas.

Peel provided some additional information about the old stadium: “the original Fulton County Stadium was the primary venue for hosting the various baseball games during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Then, after the Olympics and the 1996 World Series ended, the Olympic Stadium was converted to a baseball park, renamed to Turner Field, and re-opened in 1997. Plans were in place to demolish the Fulton County Stadium and convert it to a parking lot for the new Turner Field.

“In an attempt to save the Fulton County Stadium from demolition, some attempts were made to get the authorities to consider recommissioning the stadium to be a professional soccer arena. Sadly, this proposal failed and the inside of the Fulton County Stadium was demolished between 1996 and 1997. The exterior of the stadium was then imploded on August 2, 1997, and converted to a parking lot for Turner Field.”
