About This Map

Situated just north of the Brookwood train station Brookwood Hills is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Atlanta.

The subdivision was designed by O.F. Kauffman. Kauffman had worked on the earlier Atlanta neighborhood of Druid Hills in conjunction with Frederick Law Olmsted, America’s premier landscape architect. Olmsted favored a rambling “unplanned” style as opposed to a rigid grid system of streets and lots. Kauffman carried these principles into his design for Brookwood Hills, creating streets that followed the natural terrain, met in wide intersections, and curved through the neighborhood.

This map is printed on 100% cotton fiber archival paper and measures 21 ½” X 22 ½” . The framed piece measures 26”x 27” and is available exclusively at GLS Archives.

I have three copies of Brookwood Hills from three different collections and ever map has overexposure at the top causing it to be faded. This is the best copy and it came out of the Conn Kauffman files. We are lucky to have it. I can Photoshop the map and restore it to a newer looking map. What you see is a 600 dpi scan of the original. I charge $100 for the repro as is. If you would like me to alter it I can I can also enlarge it up to 42″ X 42″. There will be an added cost involved. Please feel free to email me. [email protected]

Thanks,
