Capital City Club
“A social organization to promote the pleasure, kind feeling and general culture of its members.”
History:
That is Atlanta’s Capital City Club, as described in the charter
granted by Fulton Superior Court on May 21, 1883.
There were sixty-two social and business leaders of the
booming little city of Atlanta who organized the Club on
April 16, 1883 and petitioned for their charter the following
day. The Capital City Club, now among the oldest social
organizations in the South, still includes the social and
business leaders of the city.
Harry C. Stockdell was the Club’s first president. He was
succeeded in 1884 by Robert J. Lowry; and then – in 1885
– Livingston Mims began the longest term as president,
serving, with a two-year interruption, from 1886 through
1906. Subsequent presidents have all served two years or
less. The first clubhouse was at 43 Walton Street, then at the
southeast corner of Walton and Fairlie. In August 1884, the Club moved into a new establishment at 114 Peachtree Street.
The present downtown Club was dedicated on December 16, 1910.
Traditionally the center of Atlanta’s social activity, the Capital
City Club has likewise been the most popular gathering place for
the city’s leading business professionals. Here visiting notables,
including several presidents of the United States, have been
entertained in an atmosphere of Southern hospitality.
From its inception the Capital City Club has sought to represent
the best of Atlanta and the South.
Notable members of Capital City Club include:
Asa Griggs Candler, Founder of the Coca-Cola Company
Robert W. Woodruff, President of the Coca-Cola Company from 1923 until 1954
Edwin P. Ansley, Atlanta real estate developer in the early 20th century
Charles Collier, president of the Cotton States and International Exposition (1895)
Joel Hurt, founder of the Trust Company of Georgia
Joseph E. Brown, Civil War Governor of Georgia
John C. Portman, Jr., American architect and real estate developer
William B. Hartsfield, American politician
Alfred W. Jones, developer of Sea Island, Georgia
Robert A. Toombs, Secretary of State of the Confederate States of America
Henry W. Grady, famous New South advocate and editor of the Atlanta Constitution
Robert “Bobby” Jones Jr., one of the greatest golfers who ever competed, founder of Augusta National Golf Club
