It consists of three parallel streets (St. Augustine, St. Charles and St. Louis Places) between North Highland Avenue and Briarcliff Road, plus lots on Ponce de Leon Avenue. Houses were built from 1912 to the early 1930s.","why_significant":"The nomination argues Atkins Park is an excellent, intact example of an early twentieth century planned suburb with period revival and progressive house styles in a landscaped setting. It is significant for community planning, architecture, landscape architecture and local history. It was home to middle-class businessmen and professionals who contributed to Atlanta's growth as a major city.","narrative":"Atkins Park is a planned suburban neighborhood in Atlanta, laid out in 1912-13 by developer Edwin Wiley Grove with civil engineer Knox T. Thomas as designer. Three parallel streets run between North Highland Avenue and Briarcliff Road, with service alleys behind the lots and a paved walkway cutting across the blocks toward the trolley line on Ponce de Leon Avenue. Low stone walls with gateposts mark the east and west edges. Most houses are one- and two-story single-family homes built between 1912 and the early 1930s in Georgian Revival, Craftsman, Spanish Mission, Tudor Revival and Prairie styles, many by local builders H.W. Nichols, J.E. Kerr and G.D. Norris. Deed restrictions governed house size, value and setbacks, giving the area a consistent character. It was listed for its planning, architecture, landscaping and its role as home to Atlanta's early twentieth century middle-class businessmen and professionals. The boundary was extended south to include lots along Ponce de Leon Avenue.","period_of_significance":"1912/1913-1920","architect_builder":"Edwin Wiley Grove, developer; Knox T.
