Flashback Photos: Stone Mountain through the years

AJC Flashback Photos: Stone Mountain through the years Atlanta's Stone Mountain has a long, complex history. It's home to the Confederate Memorial Carving, which is the largest high relief sculpture in the world. This 1937 photo shows a car approaching the mountain via dirt road. Famed sculptor Gutzon Borglum, shown here (at left) between 1923-25 with a plaster maquette of his vision for the Stone Mountain sculpture, was tasked with carving the original planned sculpture onto the face of Stone Mountain.
