Wilburn House — Midtown Atlanta’s Historic Urban Gem

Wilburn House CondominiumsNestled right on Piedmont Park, Wilburn House blends historic charm with modern city living. If you’re looking for a Midtown address that keeps you connected, walking distance to culture, green space, and everything that makes Atlanta vibrant — this is it.

Location & Walkability

  • Address: 266 11th Street NE, Atlanta, GA 30309

  • Wilburn House sits between 11th and 12th Streets, just off Piedmont Avenue — meaning many units get sweeping park views.

  • The neighborhood is extremely walkable. You’re steps away from Piedmont Park, the Botanical Garden, the Fox Theatre, High Museum, and all the restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife Midtown offers.

  • Transit is solid: the Midtown MARTA station is about 0.4 miles away.

History & Architecture

  • The original building dates to 1911, designed by Leila Ross Wilburn — Georgia’s first licensed female architect — in the Craftsman style. It was initially known as the “Piedmont Park Apartments.”

  • In 2000, a renovation preserved the architectural integrity of the original while adding two new buildings in a complementary style. All three share common spaces and connect through a courtyard overlooking the park.

  • Because of its historic significance, the original building (Piedmont Park Apartments / Wilburn House) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Why Wilburn House Stands Out

  • Historic character + modern convenience — many buildings built today try, but rarely match the charm of original architecture done well.

  • Unreal proximity to one of Atlanta’s greatest assets: Piedmont Park. Living here means you get nature and views without sacrificing city life.

  • A sense of quiet community in the middle of a bustling district — stepping off Piedmont but still in the thick of Midtown.

  • Strong investment potential, thanks to its iconic architecture, location, and timeless appeal.
