Neighborhood History
Neighborhood History
Adair Park takes its name from George Washington Adair, a post-Civil War land speculator and real estate developer who, in 1870, joined with Richard Peters to form the Atlanta Street Railway Company — one of the city's earliest streetcar lines — to open the area to residential development. Adair's company became the largest developer of property in Atlanta before his death in 1889, after which his sons George and Forrest continued the enterprise, designing the Adair Park subdivision and selling lots from 1910 onward. The neighborhood developed as a bungalow suburb through the 1890s to the 1940s, as Atlanta transitioned from a railroad town to a true city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 9, 1994.
Adair Park's architectural character is defined by Craftsman bungalows and Folk Victorian cottages lining tree-shaded streets southwest of downtown Atlanta. The neighborhood's southern boundary follows the former Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railway right-of-way, now the Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail. The Metropolitan — a former warehouse complex converted into a business and arts district — anchors the neighborhood's northern edge.
From streetcar suburb to protected historic district, Adair Park represents Atlanta's built heritage at its most intact. MY-NHD apparel carries that story for those who know the BeltLine didn't start with the trail.
