Copenhill

It was located largely where the Carter Center now sits, and now forms part of the Poncey-Highland neighborhood.Copen Hill (as it was originally written) was the site of the Augustus Hurt house (often erroneously cited as "Howard House"),[1] which served as General Sherman's temporary headquarters during the Battle of Atlanta.Other open spaces were also included in the original design, most notably the small lake near the intersection of Layal (now Colquitt) Avenue and Highland Avenue, which was fed by a small branch that formed part of the headquarters of Clear Creek.[4] In April 1890, Col. George W. Adair auctioned off the first lots of the new subdivision of "Copenhill Park", which thus became one of the first streetcar suburbs of Atlanta.[5] The area was attractive, among other reasons, for its accessibility to the Nine-Mile Circle streetcar line along Ponce de Leon Avenue, though streetcar service was later added on Highland Avenue.
