Explain contributing and noncontributing resources if necessary. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, setting, size, and significant features.) Summary Paragraph The Ansley Park Historic District is a 337-acre, planned residential neighborhood located north of downtown Atlanta. The neighborhood is characterized by meandering streets that follow the natural topography. Completely platted by 1934, the neighborhood includes single-family houses, multi-family residential buildings, the First Church of Christ, Scientist (1913), the Ansley Park Golf Club (1912), and interconnected parks. The district has a large number of early to mid-2Oth-century brick, frame, and stone buildings that represent a variety of building types and styles. The westernmost sections of the district along Peachtree Circle, 15th Street, and the northwest section of The Prado to Inman Circle were in the original 1904 plat and have the largest lots with mandated 40- to 50-foot setbacks. The lots in the northeastern section were platted in later phases and are significantly smaller with 35-foot setbacks. The roadways in this northeastern section are narrower, but still mimic the curvilinear patterns of the original plats. The exceptions to this pattern are Beverly Drive, which runs on a straight line east to west along the northern border of the neighborhood, and Montgomery Ferry Drive, which runs on a straight line north to south between Beverly Road and the golf course. The smaller lots in the northeastern part of the district include Craftsman-style bungalows, as well as vernacular forms such as the American Small House and Gabled Wing Cottage. Several mid20thcentury ranch houses and apartment buildings are located throughout the district. Noncontributing resources include new construction and altered historic buildings. The district retains integrity from its period of significance from 1904 to 1966.
