Costco to Host Book Signing for Atlanta Area Author

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - July 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Ansley Park, the first suburb built on the north side of Atlanta, has been the residence of many of the city's most prominent citizens. Images of America: Ansley Park is a pictorial history of this beautiful and unique suburb and its surrounding area.

In addition to containing details about former residents of selected houses in the area, it also includes brief histories of the Civil War in Atlanta and the church histories of First Church of Christ, Scientist, First Presbyterian Church, The Temple and Peachtree Christian Church. The book also contains information on the 12 governors that lived in the Ansley Park governor's mansion. Images of Piedmont Park, Spring Street School and Woodberry School for Girls depict the area’s parks and schools. Noteworthy locals such as Margaret Mitchell, Dorothy Alexander and Amos Rhodes are included. While social organizations including the Piedmont Driving Club, Ansley Golf Club and two chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution demonstrate the civic-minded influences within Ansley Park.

Images of America: Ansley Park gives readers a glimpse into the area’s past, while also allowing them to have a better understanding of their community’s identity today.
