Today I’m starting a new series I’m calling “Bungalow Friday: Pretty Old Atlanta Bungalows”.
These bungalows are located in the Highland View neighborhood of Atlanta (now a part of Virginia Highland) . In their excellent history of Virginia-Highland, “ Images of America Virginia-Highland” Karri Hobson-Pape and Lola Carlisle state that
“…the Atlanta Development Company in 1911 created the Highland View subdivision. It featured 40 lots, each 50 by 250 feet, costing $1,400 to $1,700 each.This Atlanta Development Company advertisement indicates the subdivision was served by two streetcar lines and had enhanced city improvements.”
It’s doubtful that all these houses were built right away but I’d guess that several were built before 1920 when the City was sprawling and our first suburbs were being created along the trolley lines. This is a great area to stroll and sneak a few pictures of Pretty Old Bungalows.
I hope you enjoy this glimpse of Virginia Highland.
Later,
Patti
