Piedmont Heights
Gradually a little township called Easton grew up on Clear Creek where Ansley Mall is located today. The second oldest house in Atlanta is located here, a two-story frame Liddell house on Montgomery Ferry, built circa 1860. The first references to Piedmont Heights at the county tax offices are from 1912. The area was developed during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Largely due to efforts by the Morningside civic association MPLA, construction of I-485 was avoided which would have gone either close to or through part of Piedmont Heights.
It is currently home to Ansley Mall and has been positively impacted by the new development at Piedmont and Cheshire Bridge. Housing stock was originally a mix of styles including 1940 ranch homes, duplexes, Tudor revivals and even a Mediterranean or two. Learn more about Piedmont Heights at their website.
