About the host
Hosted by Michael Harvey
I attended the University for Georgia (Go Dawgs!!!) and the University of Virginia to study Finance and Accounting. After graduating from UVA in 2011, I moved to Atlanta to work for Ernst and Young (EY) as an external auditor. After 4 years at EY, I joined the Internal Audit team at SunTrust (Truist). Shortly after moving to Atlanta, I met my wife Kate after a GA/FL game in St. Simons. Kate and I have been hosts since 2015 when we started renting out our spare bedroom. That led to us remodeling and designing basement to be rented full time. Eventually we started designing homes and vacation properties for friends and family. In 2018, we started Host this Home to pursue our passion for creating and managing amazing and unique spaces full-time.
Why they chose this property
With its beautiful linear park and parkways designed at the turn of the 20th century by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Druid Hills Historic District richly deserves its designation on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it resides remarkably near the center of Atlanta’s sprawling metropolitan area.
Some find it hard to believe that this magnificent urban neighborhood was conceived and executed as one of Atlanta’s first suburbs. Yet it continues to evoke the past with its winding roads, eclectic architecture, and green canopy. The U.S. Department of the Interior once declared Druid Hills to be “significant as the finest example of late 19th and early 20th century comprehensive planning and development in the Atlanta area, and one of the finest period suburbs in the Southeast.
In the early 1890s, Atlanta entrepreneur Joel Hurt, who had imaginatively developed transportation, utilities, and real estate in the city, assembled a large tract of land for residential use. He hired Frederick Law Olmsted, America’s premier landscape architect, to plan his “ideal residential suburb.”
By the time Olmsted began to design Druid Hills in 1893, he had already completed many prominent projects including Central Park in New York City, the grounds of the United States Capitol, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and the Stanford University campus. He also designed numerous park and parkway systems Boston, Chicago, and other cities.
Modern development in Druid Hills preserved the environment of parks, streetscapes, and landscapes in the spirit of Olmsted’s original concept. Scholars believe the area fulfills the three major components of his vision of 20th century suburban living:
– a park or public space as the central focus of the suburbs
– a parkway conceived as both a connector and pleasure drive
– residences on large acreages that face the parks and winding streets.
