Inman Park-Moreland Historic District
Also known as: See Also:Kriegshaber House
Why it's listed
East of downtown Atlanta, this district of about 85 acres spreads across rolling hills and curving streets in Fulton and DeKalb Counties. Most of its 301 properties are houses built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, joined by apartment buildings, two churches, two schools and a cluster of shops at Little Five Points. Styles include Colonial Revival, Beaux Arts, American Foursquare and Bungalow/Craftsman. Architect Willis Franklin Denny designed the Kriegshaber House on Moreland Avenue and several nearby homes. The neighborhood grew in stages rather than from a single master plan. Land once held by Major Asbury F. Moreland, including his lakeside Moreland Park resort, was subdivided in the early 1900s, and the Copenhill Land Company developed another section between 1895 and 1920. Trolley lines converging at Euclid, Moreland and Seminole Avenues helped make Little Five Points an early regional suburban shopping center. The district was listed for its architecture, planning, commerce, education and social history.
Significance in brief: The district is argued to be significant for its intact collection of residential, commercial and apartment buildings typical of Atlanta's suburbs. It is also cited as an incrementally developed suburb tied to Major Asbury F. Moreland and the Copenhill Land Company. The Little Five Points shopping area, two 1920s schools and the area's residents add to its commerce, education and social history significance.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
