Ardmore (Atlanta)

Ardmore, sometimes called "Ardmore Park" for the city park of the same name within the neighborhood, is a neighborhood in the extreme south Buckhead area of Atlanta, between Peachtree Road, on the east, railroad tracks and the Atlanta BeltLine on the west, Collier Road to the north and Brookwood to the south.

[1] Ardmore was first settled in the 1920s, with some of the multifamily condominium buildings along Collier Road dating to 1920.

The area is also known for being the site of some of the most hostile and bloody combat during the Civil War, as Confederate forces desperately attacked the armies commanded by Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman that were closing in on Atlanta in July 1864.

[4] In 2022, CSX Railway replaced the iconic wooden rail bridge in Ardmore Park[5] because it reached the end of its life.

In 2022, Shepherd Center announced that the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation had granted $50 million to fund an expansion of patient-family housing.
