In the January 28, 2021 issue of the Dunwoody Crier newspaper, I wrote about Prospect Methodist Church and Prosperity Presbyerian Church in One stretch of road, three Chamblee churches. The following week, February 3, 2021 was about Corinth Church and is titled Prosperity, Prospect and now Corinth Church.
All three of these early Chamblee churches began on a small stretch of Peachtree Road. See additional photos below and read the articles on the Dunwoody Crier website by following the links above.
Today, the former Prospect Methodist Church building is home to The Bunny Hive, City of Chamblee Planning and Development, and one additional office space.
Prospect Methodist Cemetery is visible behind the old church building, but accessible from North Peachtree Road.
Before the recent remodel of the church, Biggar’s Antiques operated out of the building for several years. They moved to bigger warehouse space due to their large prop business for the Atlanta area film and television industry.
Properity Cemetery was next door to Prosperity Presbyterian Church. The marker at the gate of the cemetery gives a timeline of the church.
This is the view of Prosperity Presbyterian Cemetery from inside the gate.

Just past Prosperity Cemetery is the border for Doraville, Georgia. Railroad and Marta tracks are on the right side of the road.
