This amendment adjusts the district's boundaries and extends its period of significance.","why_significant":"The district is significant for architecture, landscape architecture, and community planning and development. It was Atlanta's first streetcar suburb, with a curvilinear, Olmsted-influenced plan, large Victorian-era houses, and later small bungalows. The amendment extends the period of significance to 1945 and reassesses each property.","narrative":"Inman Park is a large residential neighborhood east of downtown Atlanta, developed by Joel Hurt from 1889 and named for his business associate Samuel Inman. Planned by New York landscape gardener Joseph Forsyth Johnson, it followed Olmsted principles, with broad avenues, curving streets and parks including the ten-acre Springvale Park. An early electric streetcar line ran along Edgewood Avenue. The area drew wealthy Atlantans, among them Asa Candler, who built large Queen Anne and Neoclassical Revival houses. From the 1910s, speculative builders added small bungalows, cottages and shotgun houses, and some mansions became rooming houses. This amendment adds blocks of historic houses on Highland and Lake avenues and a few Edgewood Avenue buildings, removes deteriorated areas along DeKalb Avenue, and extends the period of significance from 1923 to about 1945, the year the Inman Park School cafeteria annex was built. The district totals 340 contributing and 75 noncontributing resources.","period_of_significance":"1889-1945","architect_builder":"Johnson, Joseph Forsyth (landscape gardener); Norrman, Gottfried L.
