Piedmont Park Apartments


Piedmont Park Apartments are located at 11th Street in Atlanta, Georgia and are approximately 15 miles from the city's international airport. The apartments were constructed in 1913 and designed by one of Atlanta's first female architects, Leila Ross Wilburn. The building overlooks the 189-acre Piedmont Park, which is the largest municipal park in Atlanta.

This is a three story building constructed of 12" load bearing brick walls and it sits on a slight rise on the north of Eleventh Street immediately west of the park. The main façade features four prominent three-story porches that flank the central entrance door. The development was hastened by the introduction of streetcar lines to the area and the creation of Piedmont Park towards the end of the 19th century.

Whilst in the area visitors may like to spend time in the park where there are many different activities as well as art and music festivals. Amongst the activities to be enjoyed here are tennis, walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, fishing, skating, basketball, soccer, volleyball and softball. Adjacent to the park are the Atlanta Botanical Gardens on Piedmont Avenue Northeast, which is open throughout the year on Tuesday to Sunday.
