History
The club started as the Concordia Association, a social club for
Georgia State Stadium
and its parking lots).
In the late 1920s the club moved to Ponce de Leon Avenue in Midtown Atlanta. The site was later acquired by its neighbors, the Yaarab Shrine temple.
In the late 1940s, new quarters opened near
Lenox Park business park[1] and was located there until 1983, when Atlanta Inc. and Technology Park redeveloped the land.[2] Today, the five buildings that form the headquarters of AT&T Mobility
form a circle overlooking what was once the club's golf course and its lake.
In the 1980s, the club moved to its present location in Johns Creek.
