It combines the previously listed Peachtree Highlands district with the contiguous Peachtree Park neighborhood to the south.","why_significant":"The district is presented as a cohesive, middle-class streetcar and automobile-era suburb developed in phases from 1921 through the 1950s. It reflects Atlanta's early 20th century growth, with modest homes for working families, platted by the McKenzie Trust and later by the developer Haas & Dodd. Its houses show common types and styles of the period, including bungalows, Tudor and Colonial Revival cottages, American Small Houses and ranch houses.","narrative":"This neighborhood in Atlanta's Buckhead area contains about 380 contributing buildings, mostly modest single-family houses built between 1921 and 1958. Development began with Peachtree Highlands, platted by the McKenzie Trust Company and aimed at working families, then continued south as Peachtree Park under the developer Haas & Dodd. Streets curve with the rolling terrain, and granite stones line many of them. Lots are deep and narrow, with mature trees and informal landscaping. Common house types include bungalows, English cottages, side-gabled cottages, American Small Houses and ranch houses, with Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival influences. Some houses came from pattern books, catalogs or prefabricated kits. The northern half mostly predates 1945 and the southern half mostly follows it. The district reflects Atlanta's rapid growth in the early twentieth century, when streetcar lines and automobiles pushed residential development northward, and it remains a quiet residential area beside busy roads, malls and offices.","period_of_significance":"1921-1958","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival, Classical Revival, Tudor Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman, side-gabled cottage, American Small House, Ranch","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still in residential use as single dwellings, multiple dwellings and secondary structures.
