Pullman Yard or Pullman Yards is a former industrial complex in the Kirkwood neighborhood of Atlanta, comprising a plot of 27 acres used by the Pratt Engineering Company from 1904[1] and the Pullman Company from 1926 to 1955. Southern Iron and Equipment Company purchased the yard in 1955 for train manufacture and repair. The site was placed on the Atlanta Preservation Center's endangered places list in 2001. As Pratt-Pullman Yard, it is a contributing site to the 2009 designation of the Kirkwood Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.[2] [3]
Before Pratt Engineering Company purchased the land, the property was used as farmland. The Pratt Engineering Company original use was a sugar and fertilizer processing plant. In 1926, the Pullman company purchased the property to repair their railroad sleeper cars. They spent on renovations.[4]
In World War I the land was used for munitions manufacturing.
In 2017 the Atlanta Urban Design Commission nominated the historic site as a landmark site.[5]
Pullman Yards has been the filming location of many movies and television series. List of projects that used the Pratt-Pullman Yard:
