HERSCHEL HARRINGTON AND EDITH RUSSELL

 Herschel Harrington and his wife Edith Russell moved to Atlanta in 1942.  



They lived at 229 Ponce de Leon.


His shop was on Exchange Place, downtown.

His shop was then on West Paces Ferry, located relatively close to, and behind, the Buckhead Theatre building. 

From 1950 until 1958 -- nine years-- his studio was located in the old Rhodes Hall carriage house.

 Unfortunately no photos of the carriage house survive.  In this aerial shot, it would have been to the left of the stable.

I remember this "permanent" switchboard at Chastain.  It was an eight dimmer Ward Leonard, inoperable in 1967.
In 1959, he relocated to 132 10th Street rear, at the intersection of Juniper, and Herschel Harrington Studios remained at that location for forty-four years-- until 2002.
