3 unusual facts about George Adair


George Adair

Starting up again, he soon made it apparent that his spirits were not subdued, and as an evidence of his enterprising activity, it is only necessary to say that he has been connected with the Atlanta Cotton Factory (on the site of the current CNN Center), the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, director of the Kimball House Company, president of the Georgia Western Railway, and director of the Piedmont Exposition.

He also helped raise funds for the rebuilding of the Kimball House after it burned down and was instrumental in convincing H.I. Kimball to return to Atlanta to lead the effort.

Later projects with Kimball failed: the subdivision of Peters Park in 1887 and the establishment of Kimball, Tennessee in 1890 both of which he auctioneered.
