Ponce de Leon Apartments

Ponce de Leon Apartments are located on the southeast corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. Constructed in 1912 and 1913, the building was one of the first luxurious high rise dwellings in the city. Along with the Georgian Terrace Hotel and the Fox Theater, this is one of the best known buildings to residents in Atlanta and has served as a residence and gathering place for the affluent since the 1920s.

The 11 story building was designed by architect William L Stoddart, who also designed the Georgian Terrace Hotel across the road. The structure includes a pair of square towers flanking the central part of the building that rise high above the building's flat roof. Visitors may see the rounded arches with Tuscan columns. The towers are capped with ceramic tile.

The middle of the building is connected to the towers by curved metal balconies, which are quite elaborately decorated. After viewing the Ponce de Leon apartments, visitors may wish to take lunch or dinner nearby. There are many eateries in the area including Straits on Juniper Street and Leopard Lounge on 12th Street, both of which are within a mile of the apartments.
