Neighborhood History
A granite marker at the intersection of Peachtree Road and Palisades Road marks the intersection of Creek Indian trails. In 1864, the Battle of Peachtree Creek began at the intersection of what is now Peachtree and Brighton roads. By the 1880s, Joseph Thompson built a country estate called Brookwood; it was razed to make way for the interchange at Interstate 85. In 1912, B.F. Burdett and E.F. Chambliss developed Brookwood Hills subdivision. It flourished after World War I, incorporating the work of prominent Atlanta architects.
Although part of the neighborhood is registered as the Brookwood Hills Historic District, plenty of developers would love to take advantage of the in-town location. Replacing older shops, Brookwood Place is one recent development featuring 111 condominiums, 26 townhomes, and retail shops. Similarly, some of the beautiful homes designed by Neel Reid were sacrificed to make way for the Downtown Connector for Interstates 75 and 85.
