The Meredith, Kenneth and Hazel, House is a dwelling at 417 Hillside Dr. NW in Atlanta, Fulton County, built in 1938. It was designed in the English Tudor and English Vernacular Revival styles by architects William L. Monroe, Sr. and James C. Wise.
Why it's listed
It was listed under criterion C, with local significance in architecture and landscape architecture, and its period of significance is given as 1938, the year it was built.
Physical character
Brick walls rest on concrete and brick foundations and carry a steeply pitched, graduated slate roof. Tudor-arched openings, half-timber beams and steel casement windows appear throughout, and a brick loggia opens through segmental arches. The attic was converted to living space in the 1980s and renovated again in 2011, and the slate roof was replaced in kind in 2016.
Historical context
In 1936, Julia Ella Vaughan Blanton gave her son, Lewis Vaughn Blanton, part of her land, and in 1937 he passed a portion of it to Hazel Meredith, the same year Kenneth and Hazel Meredith also bought eleven acres of the property. The house was built in 1938 for the Merediths by builder Arthur Sam Hudson Satterwhite, and they lived there until 1954.
