Book Description
"Before there was Atlanta's High Museum of Art there was Villa Clare - J. J. Haverty's Mediterranean-style home on Peachtree Street. During the heyday of Villa Clare in the 1920s and 1930s, Haverty regularly opened the doors on Sunday afternoons to the public to enjoy his collection of more than 100 paintings and sculptures by artists including Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase, Helen Maria Turner, and Henry Ossawa Tanner. In telling the previously untold story of J. J. Harverty and his collection, Villa Clare provides a unique new perspective on the story of early Atlanta."--BOOK JACKET.

Buckhead
Author: Susan Kessler Barnard
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738567549
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Buckhead, a community four miles from downtown Atlanta, began approximately 6,000 years ago when the Paleo-Indians lived along the Chattahoochee River. By the mid-1700s, the Muscogee (Creek) Indians lived there in the village of Standing Peach Tree. They ceded a major portion of their land to Georgia in 1821, and from that cession came Atlanta and Buckhead. Settlers arrived and operated river ferries, mills, and farms. When Henry Irby opened a tavern in 1838 and hung a buck's head--either over the door or on a yard post--the area became known as Buck's Head. After the Civil War, black neighborhoods, schools, and potteries were established. Around the turn of the century, some Atlanta residents bought land in Buckhead, built cottages, and operated small farms. The streetcar was extended to Buckhead in 1907, and friends followed friends to the community. Images of America: Buckhead is an album of this once quiet rural community before it was annexed to the City of Atlanta in 1952.

Brookwood Hills
Author: Betsy Crosby and Elaine Luxemburger Foreword by Ed Helms
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467111228
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
When Benjamin Franklin Burdett and his son Arthur developed their streetcar suburb of Brookwood Hills in 1922, they chose land on the cusp of change, straddling the city and county line. The area, once populated by Native Americans, was the site of the opening shots of the bloody Battle of Peachtree Creek on July 20, 1864. Affluent homeowners in the early 20th century made this stretch of Peachtree Street, named "Brookwood" after society doyenne Emma Thompson's country mansion, one of Atlanta's most elegant neighborhoods. Today, Brookwood Hills, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is a leafy enclave of 350 homes within the city of Atlanta. Visitors call it an urban oasis; to city planners, it is a premier example of traditional neighborhood design. To the generations of families who have grown up in its homes, played at its park and pool, joined its clubs, and fought its battles, Brookwood Hills is something much more--it is their hometown.
