Its residents were prominent Atlanta citizens.","narrative":"Ansley Park is a suburban neighborhood in Atlanta of about 275 acres, laid out between 1904 and 1913 between Piedmont Avenue and Peachtree Street. Its curving streets follow the rolling terrain, and irregular parks and greenswards occupy hilltops, valleys and steep slopes. Streets are ranked by width and grade, and landscaped like parkways. The district holds roughly 600 houses, several apartment buildings and one church, in styles ranging from Colonial and Tudor to Prairie School and Craftsman bungalows. Civil engineer S.Z. Ruff drew the landscape plan for the Southern Real Estate Improvement Company. The nomination describes the neighborhood as Atlanta's first planned suburb designed after the automobile became accepted, and credits it with setting an example for fashionable suburbs to the north. Original deed covenants barred Black residents except domestic workers and excluded commercial development. The plan and landscaping remain largely unchanged since about 1930, and only a small number of later buildings are counted as intrusions.","period_of_significance":"1904-1930","architect_builder":"Various; landscape plan by S.Z.
