Ansley Park

Ansley Park is a residential historic district in Atlanta, Georgia circa 1900s to 1930s. The district was developed in four phases between 1904 and 1913. The district is downtown in Atlanta west of Piedmont Park. Many of the homes are between Piedmont Avenue and Peachtree Street. The neighborhood was officially completed in 1930 with 275 acres of land. The buildings along the street include single family structures, a church, and apartments.

The street homes and buildings feature a number of different architectural designs based on popular trends of the era. Some of the houses do look similar since it was a city design plan for housing. The district consists of several arranged streets, parks, and landscaping. The curbs are carefully aligned with smooth lawns, trees, and shrubs to give residents privacy. Two district parks include Winn and McClatchy. Both parks move their way through the residential area and are no more than a 10 minute walk away from most homes.

Architectural styles include Colonial, Neo Classical, Federal, Italian Renaissance, Queen Anne, and Tudor Style. The most well known house in the district is the Andrews-Dunn House. First Church of Christ Scientist Building is also well known. The building was built in 1913 in Neo Classical architecture.
