The story of Inman Park, Atlanta's first planned suburb, is one
closely tied with transportation ingenuity, trade, and the
progressive determination of its citizens. Situated two miles east
of downtown Atlanta, Inman Park was farmland when the Civil War
ravaged its rolling hills. In the 1890s, Inman Park bloomed into
Atlanta's first residential park, the location of choice for
Atlanta's social elite. The growth of Atlanta, however, struck a
blow to the development of this utopian suburb. By the mid-20th
century, the suburb fell into dilapidation, abandoned by the
prominent families of Atlanta. It was not until the 1970s that the
neighborhood, like Atlanta itself, was raised from its ashes to
become the celebrated example of Victorian restoration that it is
today and was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
