Based in Atlanta, Samuel Brice Hall serves as Piedmont Private Equity director of investor relations. Community focused, Samuel Brice Hall takes advantage of Atlanta’s vibrant cultural offerings, including Piedmont Park, which encompasses 189 acres and was opened to the public in the late 19th century. Roughly triangular in shape, Piedmont Park initially served as a racetrack and driving grounds for the Gentlemen's Driving Club, and it was selected as the site for the Cotton States and International Exposition in 1895. The architect of New York’s Central Park, Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., was consulted for the project’s landscape design, though he was not able to see the project through to its completion. A major prevailing belief influencing the final design, which was completed by his sons, was that urban parks should provide a positive influence on the health, fitness, and morals of members of society. Today’s Piedmont Park reflects that legacy through its abundant green space, as well as recreational facilities such as tennis courts, a baseball field, swimming pool, and picnic areas. One of the historic highlights for residents is the stone stairways fronted by large stone urns that bring visitors to various levels of the park. Cultural offerings include the Music Midtown Concert series and the annual Dogwood Festival, which has been running for eight decades.
