It retains many 1890-1910 houses, a picturesque street pattern, and green spaces, and was home to prominent Atlanta families. Its architecture and landscape design are also cited.","narrative":"Inman Park is a residential neighborhood near the eastern edge of Atlanta, connected to the downtown Five Points area by Edgewood Avenue. Developed from 1889 by Joel Hurt's East Atlanta Land Company, it was the city's first planned residential suburb. Hurt tied it to an electric street railway and a downtown skyscraper, the Equitable Building. Curving streets, rolling terrain, large shade trees and green spaces such as Springvale Park, the Triangle and the Delta give the area a picturesque character. Its houses range from High Victorian Queen Anne and Colonial Revival designs to Jacobethan and Beaux-Arts examples, plus a c. 1890 shingle style car barn and the Inman Park School by G. L. Norrman. Prominent Atlantans, including members of the Candler family, lived here. After deed restrictions lapsed in 1910, apartments and businesses appeared, and many families moved away. A restoration movement began around 1970, and a 1961 road embankment cut through Springvale Park.","period_of_significance":"1890 - 1973","architect_builder":"Joel Hurt (developer); James Forsyth Johnson (landscape designer); W.
