The Washington Park neighborhood is located in the City of Atlanta at the intersection of Martin
Luther King Jr. Drive and Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard.

Washington Park Business District
In 2013, the Atlanta Regional
Commission awarded the City of
Atlanta with a Community Choices
grant to assist in the Washington
Park Commercial Revitalization
plan at the intersection of Martin
Luther King, Jr. Drive (formerly
Hunter Street) and Joseph E.
Lowery Boulevard (formerly
Ashby Street). As part an effort to
ensure the continued preservation
of this important district, the
ARC conducted field surveys
and research to document both
the history and character of the
commercial node. The information
collected will aid in maintaining
compatible development while
promoting economic revitalization.
The Washington Park Historic
District is a historically AfricanAmerican
neighborhood
in
northwest Atlanta encompassing
historic residential, commercial,
and
community
landmark
buildings.
Research into City Directories
from 1925 to 1950 provided a
chronology of business owners
and residents along West Hunter
Street and Ashby Street. The
main commercial node at this
intersection once housed a variety of African-American businesses such as the Ashby Theater, the
Moses Amos Drug Store, Cat & Fiddle Restaurant, beauty shops, and grocery stores. Sanborn Fire
Insurance Maps and field surveys helped to document the development of the commercial corridor
along Hunter and Ashby Streets. A remarkable amount of historic integrity is retained behind many
façade alterations undertaken within the past fifty years.
