The 1,300 curving acres of the master planned community of Druid Hills, DeKalb County, Atlanta, Ga. was the work of Frederick Law Olmsted. Beginning in 1890 he laid out the neighborhood around a chain of linear parks along Ponce de Leon Avenue and designated a tourist hotel and two lakes. Olmsted’s plan was not realized until his passing. Charles Olmsted, Frederick?EUR??,,????'?????<
