Developed by businessman Herman Perry in the early 1920s, Washington Park was the first planned Black suburb in Atlanta . By mid-century, it had become a thriving hub for Atlanta's Black middle class, complete with schools, businesses, and offices.
Today, it's a neighborhood with deep roots and growing momentum.

The Whatley's were a family that housed a textiles facility in their backyard. Upon our initial tour, we discovered an incredible lot that had been completely covered in cement - grandfathered into the City of Atlanta.

We're excited to be working with a team that is enthralled by the home's history and is helping us keep the legend going. After a few months with the City of Atlanta permit office, we're excited to officially be continuing construction.

As we look forward to completing this project, we're hopeful the next owner will appreciate the details we've applied into this house and it's accessibility to the Washington Park, the Atlanta Beltline, and MARTA's Ashby Station.
