Did you know that Ansley Park and Westview were planned by the very same mind? 🏙️🌳
Back in 1910, developer William J. Davis wanted to create a stunning “residence park” in southwest Atlanta. To do it right, he hired civil engineer Solon Zachery Ruff—the mastermind who had just designed Ansley Park. 📐Ruff took his signature style across town, replacing rigid city gridlines with:✨ Flowing, curvilinear streets✨ Winding roadways that hug the natural hills✨ Hidden green pockets and park views.
Next time you are cruising down the winding roads of Westview or taking a stroll through Ansley Park, you are walking through the exact same architectural vision.
