Forrest Adair

Forrest Adair (1865-1936) was a real estate dealer. He lived in Atlanta, Georgia, and served as Fulton County (Georgia) Commissioner from 1895 until 1903. A member of the Yaarab Temple, he served as Potentate and was instrumental in the founding of the Scottish Rite Children's Hospital. Along with his brother, George Adair, he developed neighborhoods throughout what is the Atlanta, Georgia, area, including Adair Park, West End Park (now known as Westview), and, in conjunction with Asa Candler, Druid Hills.
