State Military College. Milledgeville, Ga.
Antique postcard published circa 1910.
Milledgeville, Ga. was designated the new capital of Georgia in 1804, and construction on this capitol was begun in 1805. It was the capitol for the State of Georgia from 1807 to 1868. It then became the Baldwin County Courthouse. It was converted to the Middle Georgia Military and Agriculture College in 1879, which was renamed the Georgia Military Academy. It still functions under the same name as part of a Community Junior College.

Atlanta, Ga. State Capitol
Pre-linen postcard published circa 1920.
The Georgia capitol front is now well hidden behind trees and buildings. This view from before the area's development shows the building better than any modern photo can.

State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.
Antique postcard published circa 1915.
Almost all the views of this capitol on this page are from the same angle. Perhaps the view from the other side was already obstructed as it is today.

The Georgia State Capitol. Atlanta, Ga.
Antique postcard published circa 1905 by Raphael Tuck & Sons. Printed in England.
This view is very similar to that in the pre-linen view three cards above. They might have been made from the same photograph. Tuck typically added pedestrians, carriages, and larger trees.

At first this view looks very much like those above, but this actually is the back of the capitol. Notice there are no columns at the entrance.

State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.
Antique postcard published circa 1905.
This view, embossed with gold-tone accents, was very likely published by Illustrated Post Card like the one above. Notice it is the same image of the rear of the capitol.

This view shows the capitol from the other oblique angle of its front face. Aerial views like this one are rather unusual.

Georgia State Capitol. Atlanta, Ga.
Antique, embossed postcard published circa 1905 by S. Langsdorf & Co. Publishing, New York, N. Y. Made in Germany.
This view is certainly made from the same photograph as the Tuck several cards above. The state seal is in the medallion on both cards. These similarities in views by two different publishers is curious.

Georgia State Capitol
Antique, Undivided Back postcard published circa 1905.
This very early postcard shows the capitol 10 or 15 years after completion. There are no landscape plantings or embellishments, making a very simple and elegant image.
