The twin smokestacks of the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills — still standing since 1881, now rising above the loft condos named after them ("The Stacks"). Jacob Elsas, a German Jewish immigrant, built the mill on the ruins of the Atlanta Rolling Mill that Sherman burned in 1864. By the early 1900s it was one of the largest cotton mills in the South, employing the entire neighborhood of Cabbagetown. The mill closed in the 1970s, was converted to lofts in 1995 in one of the biggest loft conversions in the US, but the smokestacks remain — industrial ghosts watching over the BeltLine.
