Settlers; pioneers; screen porches; screen door; Ansley Park; gable; columns;
George Washington "Wash" Collier (1813-1903) was one of the first settlers in the Atlanta area and came to the area when his father, Meredith Collier, purchased Land Lot 104 in 1822. In 1868, Collier built a home on that land in what is now Ansley Park. The house exterior was remodeled, but still stands today at 1649 Lady Marian Lane, Atlanta, Georgia. Collier operated a grocery store in Five Points, which would later serve as Atlanta’s first post office in 1846 where Collier served as the first postmaster of Marthasville. - Local Identifier:
