Mozley Park, which lies west of the Atlanta
University Center, represents yet another
aspect of the city's history. The subdivision
is triangular shaped and was originally
bounded by Martin Luther King Drive (then
called Hunter) on the north, Gordon Road

on the south and by the

Southern Railroad line on the east.

The subdivision was named for Dr. Hiram
Mozley, inventor of Mozley's Lemon Elixir,
who originally owned the land.

The Mozley Park development grew slowly
and in a somewhat random fashion, beginning
around 1907.

In the older section the lots are small and

have no driveways. During this period cars

may not have been necessities because the area was
served by trolley along Gordon Road.

As development moved eastward, signs of the
growing popularity of cars became evident in the
number of driveways to be found.

Most of the original homeowners in Mozley Park
were working class. City directories indicate

that common occupations of neighborhood residents
were carpenter, laundress, clerk, and blacksmith.

The homes in Mozley Park reflect the time
during which they were built. The majority are
small Craftsman style bungalows -- the housing
type most popular throughout the nation

during the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s.

A Craftsman bungalow has a low-pitched roof,
wide, unenclosed, overhanging eaves

windows with several small panes of
glass in the top sash,
