A 1965 plan to expand Georgia Tech into the neighborhood signaled the beginning of the neighborhood's evacuation over the following years, in most cases by buying the homeowners out. Hemphill itself was a major city thoroughfare connecting Buckhead, the Atlantic Steel Mill, Techwood Homes and Downtown.
