An exceedingly rare and desirable Carrere and Hastings (American (New York), 1885-1911), the firm of John Merven Carrere (1858-1911) and Thomas Hastings (1860-1929), hand-drawn architectural plat or plan for the subdivision of property of The Peachtree Heights Park Co. in Atlanta, Georgia, circa 1925. Large black ink rendered plan on paper for the noted Beaux-Arts architectural firm's only design project in Atlanta and the only subdivision in their firm's history with streets, parkways, lots (noted as sold), block sections, and landscape portrayed throughout. Lower left with title for plat as well as scale and project contributors including E.A. Stevens & Co. of Hoboken, New Jersey(engineering firm) with Frank Stone Tainter (1862-1941) above information on the New York based architects. Work also noting that this is a revised plate from March of 1925 under L.H. Fitzpatrick. C.E. and that there was an earlier revision in 1915--the project began circa 1910.. Unframed (including later selvedge) measures approximately 37.75" x 87.4". Note: Due to its architectural and historical significance, Peachtree Heights Park Historic District was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The neighborhood includes hundreds of classical homes in English Tudor, Georgian and Regency styles among other architectural genres. Carrere and Hastings design emphasized the natural beauty of the rolling, tree covered landscape in their placement of roads and lots. Today, the area is known as Peachtree Heights West.
Condition report statements are provided as a courtesy to interested clients by request - these reports state our professional opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. As such, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery is not responsible for any omissions or errors to these condition reports. It is important to note that the absence of a condition report does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. Prior to bidding, please consult the additional photos provided and ask all pertinent questions (i.e. condition, size, etc.). Packing and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, please see our website for a list of shipping companies. For a condition report, please email Condition@AandOauctions.com. For additional photos, please email Photos@AandOauctions.com. Please note, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery sells items at a rate of approximately 80 to 100 lots per hour in a live auction setting. Since the auction moves quickly, online bidding platforms are,at times, unable to keep up with the pace. To avoid potential disappointment when bidding on an online platform, consider placing a realistic absentee bid in advance of the sale. Priority, in regards to bidding, goes to in-house floor bidders. Occasionally, the auctioneer may reject a live online bid and/or reopen a lot after the close of online bidding (typically due to a missed in-house floor bid). Due to this possibility, at times the online bidding platform will show an online bidder as the winning bid when they are not. All final winning bidders will be notified via invoicing from Ahlers & Ogletree typically by the Monday immediately following the sale. To bid with Ahlers & Ogletree as a phone or absentee bidder, please feel free to email us at bid@AandOAuctions.com. Lastly, please make sure to read over our firm's Terms and Conditions of Sale before bidding.
