Architecture
The Adair Park community's residences include several architectural styles. The most common historic homes are Craftsman Bungalows from the early 1900s. Single-family neighborhoods include Lenox Place, an older neighborhood centered on Drexel Ave. and Melrose Ave., and Rosewalk, a new community on Ridley Ln. The community also contains late 20th Century townhomes that are popular due to their affordability and proximity to downtown Decatur.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
—Audre Lorde (19341992)
“All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
“Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
