The Williams Park neighborhood of Smyrna (the streets lying east
of Atlanta Road, opposite Market Village) contains the largest concentration of
older structures in the city, many dating from the 1885 to 1925 period, a
unique architectural ensemble that could well qualify as Smyrna's first
National Register Historic District.
The area also has a fascinating history.
Casey Clavin, who has given much attention to the architectural history of this
interesting neighborhood, and local historian Bill Marchione, co-narrated today’s
walking tour of the city's oldest neighborhood, a tour that also featured
visits to the interiors of some of Williams Park's most interesting residences.
The Williams Park walking tour was sponsored by the Friends of the Smyrna Library (FOSL) with assistance from the Smyrna Arts
and Cultural Council (SACC), as
one of the Smyrna Library's regular "First Sunday" programs.
