- Summary
- The Druid Hills neighborhood is characterized by rolling hills, magnificent trees and shrubs and gorgeous, expansive houses. Its Ponce de Leon corridor bears the imprint of the founder of American landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted. The brainchild of Joel Hurt, the neighborhood was brought to fruition by some of Atlanta's most prominent businessmen, including Asa Candler, founder of Coca-Cola. It was these "movers and shakers" of the city who lived in the neighborhood during the early decades fo the twentieth century. In 1914, Druid Hills was permanently altered with the announcement that it would by the sit of Emory University's new main campus. Now the residents coexist with waht has become an international univeristy community. Historian Robert Hartle Jr. has written an honest, impeccably researched tribute to Druid Hills, truly one of the jewels in Atlanta's crown.
