Pullman Yard
Pullman Yard or Pullman Yards is a former industrial complex in the Kirkwood neighborhood of Atlanta that is now an entertainment and residential district. As Pratt-Pullman Yard, the 27-acre site is a contributing property to the 2009 designation of the Kirkwood Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.[1][2] HistoryPratt Engineering Company purchased what was then farmland in 1904 to build a sugar and fertilizer processing plant.[3] The company made fertilizer bombs during World War I. In 1926, the Pullman company purchased the property to manufacture and repair their railroad sleeper cars. They spent $1,000,000 (equivalent to about $22,223,300 in 2023) on renovations.[4] In 1955, Southern Iron and Equipment Company purchased the yard and continued to manufacture and repair train cars.  The site was placed on the Atlanta Preservation Center's endangered places list in 2001 and federally recognized in 2009. In 2017, Atomic Entertainment purchased the complex with plans for redevelopment. In 2017 the Atlanta Urban Design Commission nominated the historic site as a landmark site.[5] Filming location
