Hermance Stadium on the campus of Oglethorpe University.
I was surprised to learn that what can be seen from Peachtree Road is all there is to see of the stadium. This exterior, built in 1929 with funds donated by Harry Hermance, represents only about an eighth of the stadium as it was originally designed. Shortly after this facade was completed, Hermance was ruined by the collapse of the stock market in the Great Depression and the rest of the plans for the stadium were never completed.
