Church
Cathedral of Christ the King
2699 Peachtree Rd, Atlanta, GA 30305, USA
Gothic-revival cathedral of limestone and marble, built on land once owned by the Ku Klux Klan.
This guide to the Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta opens with an insurance company foreclosing on the Ku Klux Klan's own regional headquarters on Peachtree Road in 1936. It follows Bishop Gerald O'Hara's decision to buy that land and mansion for his young Catholic parish, and the local businessmen, including furniture magnate J. J. Haverty, who funded a new building. Look up at the bell tower rising in French Gothic stone above the entrance as you arrive.
