Edward Conyngham Peters (October 22, 1855 – February 1, 1937) was an Atlanta real estate developer.
Among his siblings were Richard, Ralph, president of the Long Island Rail Road, and Nellie, who also became prominent.
[3] In 1889, upon his father's death, Edward inherited Richard's land, railroad and trolley interests.
[1] He sold off the land for the development of what is now the southern half of Midtown Atlanta (below 8th Street, as far west as Atlantic St. on the Georgia Tech campus, to Argonne St. east of Piedmont).
[1] Peters' residence, the Edward C. Peters House, built in 1883 and designed by architect G. L. Norrman in the Queen Anne style, on the southwest corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and Piedmont,[9] is now used by the Savannah College of Art and Design and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
