Homes in Peachtree Park are excellent examples of early to mid-20th century architectural styles. The neighborhood was developed in three distinct time periods, generally spreading southward from Peachtree Rd. to Darlington Rd.
The oldest part of the neighborhood, the Peachtree Highlands National Historic District, was developed for middle-class trades people. The area's oldest house, at 701 Martina Dr., was built in 1921. The middle section of Peachtree Park, from East Paces Ferry Rd. to Greenview and part of Dale Dr., is comprised of colonial Revival, English Cottage and Cape Cod style homes built in the 1930's and 1940's. The Southern third of Peacthree Park was constructed mostly after World War II. Homes in this section, from Dale Dr. to Darlington Circle, are generally in the ranch style, but many Elliott Circle homes date back to the 1920's and 1930's, when it was an off-shoot of fine homes that then lined Piedmont Rd.
In 2006, Peachtree Park volunteers, led by Susan Prutzman, completed the data to apply for and add the southern half of Peachtree Park to the National Historic Register, thus protecting the entire neighborhood from future commercial develepment, and strengthening the financial investments of our residents. |
