Constructed around the expansive 131-acre green space and recreational haven of Grant Park, the Grant Park neighborhood stands as one of Atlanta’s oldest residential areas, encompassing more than 430 acres of undulating terrain in southeast Atlanta. Predominantly residential, the neighborhood also encompasses school buildings, churches, neighborhood commercial clusters, and recreational structures that have played integral roles in its historical development.

The architectural tapestry of the Grant Park neighborhood is diverse, featuring sprawling Victorian-era mansions, quaint cottages, early twentieth-century bungalows, and numerous brick-paved sidewalks. The majority of these structures were erected between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The grand two-story mansions facing the park contrast with more modest two-story, modified Queen Anne dwellings on surrounding streets, while one-story Victorian-era cottages and Craftsman bungalows dominate the eastern streets surrounding the park.
