2598 H ABERSHAM R OAD

“ This two-story red brick Georgian Revival house, circa 1936, the year
author Margaret Mitchell released “Gone with the Wind”, is in the very heart of
one of Atlanta’s most historic, elegant, and sought-after Buckhead neighbor-
hoods, Peachtree Heights Park.
Created for Cecil F. Johnson and his family – he was a senior executive with a
forest products & hardware concern founded a year before Coca-Cola was
invented – the Johnson House, on its rise of ground at 2598 Habersham Road,
remains a landmark of Buckhead style.
The extensive renovations of the Johnson House, recently completed under the
direction of Margaret Whitaker (AIA), retain the original character of the home.
The Johnson House is set in an area dotted with houses designed by architects
belonging to the nationally recognized “Georgia School of Classicists.” The
school included important architects like Neel Reid of Hentz, Reid & Adler and
