The overall building's design is attributed to Reid, while the entrance detail was drafted by Rudolph Adler, Philip Shutze, and Augustus E. Constantine.![]()

A rapid increase in the white middle-class population, rising property values, access to streetcar lines, and the rise of automobile transportation led to the construction of apartments north and east of downtown Atlanta, primarily in what is known today as Midtown.![]()

Peachtree Manor is a good example of an early 20th-century 'luxury' apartment building in Atlanta, one of only a few such buildings built in Atlanta, and one of a very few remaining in the city. The H-shaped design of the 696 Peachtree Street Apartments allowed most of the apartments to occupy a corner location providing for lots of light and air. Also a telephone connection was provided for each apartment.![]()

In 1947, it was converted to a hotel. In the mid-1980s, the building was partially reconverted to apartments, but work was halted and the structure remained vacant for almost fifteen years. Today, the units have been fully rehabilitated into the Cornerstone Village condominium complex.![]()
