Swan House - Atlanta

The Swan House is located on Slaton Drive in Atlanta, Georgia.  The home was built in 1928 for Edward and Emily Inman, wealthy cotton brokers and investors.  They hired noted Atlanta architect Phillip Trammell Shutze to design their new home on 28 acres of land they purchased in the Buckhead community.  The home is considered one of the finest Second Renaissance Revival style homes of the era, incorporating classic Italian, English and Baroque styles in its design.  The many bird motids throughot the home's interior gave the house its name.  Edward Inman passed away in 1931, but his wife, Emily, lived in the house until 1965.  It was sold to the Atlanta Historical Society in 1966 and opened as a museum in 1967.  The house was restored in 2004 and is currently operated by the Atlanta History Center.  Swan House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
