Short answer
Lindridge-Martin Manor grew from a string of postwar plats, starting with B. A. Martin's development in 1946, and joined the Atlanta city limits in 1952. Ranch houses are the main type, mostly brick veneer with wood weatherboard, board-and-batten or vertical board sections, so painting here centers on that wood, the trim and the interiors.
Homes in Lindridge-Martin Manor
Four plats, one ranch type and a creek on two sides
Developer B. A. Martin platted the Martin Development in 1946 and revised it in 1954, working with architect John Wesley Cherry on floor plans. The Lindridge Subdivision followed in 1948, with 21 houses by Hallman Brothers, then the Fletcher Magbee Subdivision in 1953 and Armand Heights, platted in 1958, where every historic house went up in 1959. The area came into Atlanta in 1952 under Mayor William B. Hartsfield's Plan of Improvement.
The National Register nomination names the ranch as the dominant house type, with at least 34 showing Colonial Revival touches and 18 built as Contemporary designs. Brick veneer is the most common exterior, and some houses got vinyl siding after 1980. Paint work here centers on the wood: board-and-batten gables, vertical board panels by the entry, long fascia runs and window trim.
Peachtree Creek runs along the west side and its south fork along the south edge, and the lots are shaded by mature pines and oaks. That means needles packed in gutters, a pollen film every spring and damp siding on the back of the house, all washed off and dried before scraping.

Questions
Painting questions from Lindridge-Martin Manor
It was added to the National Register in 2015, but it is not among the landmark or historic districts on the City of Atlanta's preservation list. If you are unsure about your address, ask the city's Urban Design Commission staff.
Yes, with paint made for vinyl and a color no darker than the siding can take, so it does not warp in the sun.
Not necessarily. You can keep the brick natural and repaint only the wood. If you want the brick changed, limewash or mineral paint suits brick that has never been painted.
Yes. Doors and drawers come off and are cleaned, sanded, primed and sprayed, and the boxes are brushed and rolled in place.
