To The Manor Born

Prev Next

I haven't posted any pictures of my house lately . . . well, ever, so why start now? This is the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center, a beautiful old showplace that is open to the public. Didn't want anyone to think all the houses in Georgia look like my last post.

The Swan House is a classically styled mansion built in 1928 for the Edward H. Inman family, heirs to a cotton brokerage fortune. The mansion was designed by famed Atlanta architect Philip Trammell Shutze.

I got there before the place opened, so took this through the front gate. Lots more details if you view large, although the Flickr conversion did a little number on the sharpness of this one.
