 1910 Tudor Revival |
2801 Andrews Drive (at Peachtree Road) Atlanta, GA 30301 United States |
This residence was built in 1910 for the Andrews family and is an architectural anchor of the affluent Peachtree Heights neighborhood. Although the name of the original architect has been lost, the famed architectural team of Ivey and Crook was responsible for the substantial expansion that took place in 1928, which was commissioned by the Dunn family. The Tudor Revival style of the home is reminiscent of old English manors, with half-timbering casement windows and a green shingled roof. This house is not open to the public.

Genteel Suburban Community |
Ansley Park 1235 Peachtree Street Atlanta, GA 30309 United States http://www.ansleypark.org/ |
One of the older suburban neighborhoods in Atlanta, Ansley Park was designed in 1904 in hopes of attracting the city's elite. It's notable for the wide, winding roads and feeling of being in a public park, even in the midst of housing divisions. A variety of architectural styles are present in the neighborhood, from Colonial to Queen Anne. Guided walking tours are offered sometimes, check the community website for more information.

Tara revisited |
144 College Street Atlanta, GA 30236 United States +1 770 461 9561 |
While not a plantation in the classic, antebellum sense, this landmark home has witnessed over 100 years of Atlanta-area history. Built in 1879, the construction made use of over a million bricks, and required almost a year to complete. Fully restored and refurbished, the mansion has been appointed with period antiques and decorated to reflect daily life of a bygone age. Stop by during the week for a tour, or call on weekends regarding special events. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Atlanta's Oldest Park |
Grant Park 800 Cherokee Avenue Atlanta, GA 30315 United States http://grantpark.org/ |
Created mostly with land granted by Colonel Lemuel Grant, the "Father of Atlanta," Grant Park is the oldest surviving park in the city. Its lands were part of the defensive line against Union forces in the Civil War, and the breastworks of Fort Walker remain as evidence of the Confederacy's defeat. The Cyclorama, a circular building filled with the world's largest painting, tells the story of the battle. The park's other main attraction is Zoo Atlanta, one of the only places in the USA that you can see a set of giant pandas. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Stately Victorian Neighborhood |
Inman Park 1000 Edgewood Drive Atlanta, GA 30307 United States http://www.inmanpark.org/ |
Inman Park was the first planned neighborhood south of the Mason-Dixon Line, established in 1887 and fully built by the 1900s. It experienced a long period of decline starting around 1910 and continuing until restoration began in the 1970s. The neighborhood is characterized by Queen Anne architecture and large trees and is now one of the most pleasant in Atlanta. The yearly Inman Park Spring Festival, taking place during the last weekend of April, is a great time to see it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Victorian Wonder |
292 Moreland Ave (Austin Avenue) Atlanta, GA 30307 United States |
Dating to 1900, this house was designed by famed architect Willis F. Denny for Victor Kriegshaber, the founder of several Atlanta companies and one of the city's most prominent philanthropists. The elaborately detailed exterior is fashioned in the Beaux Arts Classical Revival style and is crowned by a small portico supported by Ionic columns. Upon construction, the verdant grounds featured enormous oak trees and rolling greens, although today the neighborhood is much more urbanized. This place is not open to the public.
