Frederick Law Olmsted and his son drew the plan in 1893 for Joel Hurt, running a curving parkway down Ponce de Leon Avenue with a chain of six linked parks strung along the median in place of a village green. Construction did not begin until 1905, and in 1908 Asa Candler bought the company and finished the job. It came after Inman Park as Atlanta's second major planned suburb, and it set the template that the rest of the metro copied.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
