listed in the National Register on June 23, 2009. The district is among the foremost mid-20th-century African-American suburbs in Atlanta and the nation. Locally, it represents the culmination of westward African-American residential development from downtown Atlanta to the western fringes of the city, made possible by negotiation among private land-development organizations and public planning agencies during a period of strict residential segregation; nationally, it is unique in terms of its size, diversity of residents, and the principal role played by African Americans in its development. Collier Heights housed a broad spectrum of Atlanta's mid-century middle- and upper-class African-American populace. The neighborhood was highly promoted to a regional audience by the Atlanta Daily World, and it was featured in national publications including Ebony magazine, Time magazine, and The New York Times.
Collier Heights contains nearly 2,000 houses in 55 small, interrelated subdivisions developed primarily between 1941 and 1979. Many of these houses were built from plans provided by the Atlanta Home Builders Plan Service and W. D. Farmer; others were custom-designed by several of Atlanta's earliest professional African-American architects. The majority of the houses are mid-20th-century Ranch houses, along with a smaller number of Split Levels and a few twostory houses; also included are a few early 20th-century Craftsman Bungalows and some mid-century American Small Houses. Virtually every size and type of Ranch house is represented, from small and compact to large and rambling, and from the simple linear to courtyard and other complex forms. Architectural styles include Colonial Revival and Contemporary with a few examples of Modern.
