Its cul-de-sac is described as the earliest documented use of that feature in the Atlanta metropolitan area. It was planned and about half built by suburban builder H.W. Nicholes (Nichols). The nomination cites community planning, architecture and landscape architecture under criteria A and C.","narrative":"Cameron Court is a small subdivision of modest one and one-and-a-half story houses on a short, gently curving cul-de-sac running east from Briarcliff Road, about three miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. Developed in the mid to late 1920s, it sits just beyond the western edge of Druid Hills. The houses, built in Craftsman/Bungalow, Spanish Mission, Tudor and Colonial styles, share a common setback, similar size and brick or stucco walls, giving the street a nearly rowhouse-like feel. Informal front yards, sidewalks, curbs and stone gateposts complete the setting. The nomination argues that the district matters for its planning, architecture and landscaping. Its cul-de-sac is described as the earliest documented use of that feature in the Atlanta area. H.W. Nicholes, a prominent suburban builder also active in Druid Hills and Atkins Park, planned the subdivision and built at least half of the houses before filing for bankruptcy in 1926. Other builders then finished it according to his plan.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"H.W.
