2001 List of Endangered Buildings:
Brookhaven Neighborhood
The close-in location and attractive setting of
the Brookhaven Neighborhood, dating from the 1910s, has made it an ideal place
to live. Unfortunately, many of the older homes have been demolished and
replaced by houses incompatible with the scale, character, setting, and setbacks
of the other homes in the neighborhood. Concerned residents are
exploring the option of local historic designation to stem the demolition of
historically significant homes and to ensure that new construction is
appropriate to a historic neighborhood. Teardowns and
construction of incompatible, often larger homes is also occurring throughout
Atlanta, from Buckhead to Inman Park.
