Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent is a large, highly intact
residential area developed, beginning in 1910 as two adjacent
planned subdivisions. The plan of Ardsley Park, a regular grid with
landscaped squares, is extremely important as it is a twentieth
century variant of Oglethorpe's original city plan. Chatham
Crescent is an rare example in Georgia of a Beaux Arts influenced,
"City Beautiful" type plan with a grand mall, crescent-shaped
avenues, and small circular parks incorporated into a basic grid
pattern.
The architectural styles in the district include textbook and
local interpretations of almost every revival and eclectic style
popular in the early twentieth century. They are predominantly one-
and two-story, single family homes, many of which have free
standing garages in the rear.
