Hardy Ivy Park is a pocket park in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
History
The namesake for the park is Hardy Ivy, who is generally considered the first person of European descent to settle in what is now Atlanta. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the name was chosen to appease the Ivy family after Ivy Street was renamed Peachtree Center Avenue in the late 20th century.Шаблон:Sfn The park is located on a small triangular tract of land at the divergence of Peachtree Street and West Peachtree Street in downtown.
In May 1896, the city of Atlanta commemorated the Erskine Memorial Fountain in honor of Judge John Erskine at the location.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In order to make room for the fountain, a marble statue of Benjamin Harvey Hill was moved from the park to the Georgia State Capitol.Шаблон:Sfn The fountain, designed by sculptor J.
