Lots were first sold on May 2, 1911, and the district is part of the West Paces Ferry Road multiple-resource area.","why_significant":"The nomination argues significance from the exceptional quality of its residential architecture set within a landscape plan by the firm of Carrere and Hastings. It is described as one of the best-planned and best-preserved residential subdivisions in the Atlanta area. Houses by firms such as Hentz, Reid and Adler, Cooper and Cooper, and Tucker and Howell add to its architectural interest, as do the naturalistic landscaping and gardens.","narrative":"Peachtree Heights Park is a roughly 440-acre residential district in Atlanta, planned around curving streets that follow the natural land. Peachtree Battle Avenue, a wide divided road with a landscaped median, anchors the layout, and Habersham Road, Rivers Road, Nacoochee Drive and Woodward Way branch from it. Streambeds at Habersham and West Wesley roads were kept as stone-walled parks with their vegetation untouched. After Wesley Gray Collier died in 1906, his estate's executors formed the Peachtree Heights Park Company, which hired Carrere and Hastings to plan the subdivision. Lots first sold in 1911. The houses represent Tudor, Georgian, Federal, Norman, Spanish and other revival styles, blended by naturalistic landscaping with large stands of trees and broad lawns. Hentz, Reid and Adler designed at least fifteen of them, and landscape architect William C. Pauley worked on several gardens. The district was listed for its architecture and landscape design, and for being among the best-preserved planned subdivisions in the Atlanta area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Carrere and Hastings (subdivision plan); Hentz, Reid and Adler (later Hentz, Reid, Adler and Shutze); Pringle and Smith; Tucker and Howell; Cooper and Cooper; landscape architect William C.
