Between mid-December 1985 and the end of March 1986, Darlene Roth & Associates, Inc. conducted a cultural resource survey of five proposed routes and route segments in three areas of metropolitan Atlanta. These routes included the proposed route to extend the East-West rapid rail line from the Hightower Station west to the proposed Brownlee Station; two alternate routes to extend the present East-West line, east, from the present Station at Avondale Estates to the proposed Kensington Station; and two proposed terminus points on a single route along the proposed extension from Chamblee Station (under construction) to Doraville. The purpose of the survey was threefold: to identify archaeologically sensitive areas, to identify architecturally and historically significant buildings and other structures; and to establish background history in each of the study areas sufficient to explain the identified resources.
