The Unitarians selected West
Peachtree largely because it is a quiet
street and comparatively free at this
time from business enterprises. 1t is
hinted that this thoroughfare will be
the site of more churches as soon as
moving of other institutions becomes
necessary.

That West End is the choice of a
fair proportion of the local population
as a residence section has been evil

the corner of Gordon and Peoples

corner of Lee and York streets and will

was bought through the Martin Ozburn
Realty Company from l.. M. Sisemore.
West End homes continue to be in de-
mand, and the advent of apartments is
being welcomed in that locality.
