Event Description
Aristocrats from the Georgia sea coast, seeking a healthier climate, selected the site of Roswell on the bluffs overlooking the creeks of the Chattahoochee River to build their plantation homes in the early 19th century. Barrington King, co-founder of Roswell, selected the highest point in Roswell for his home Barrington Hall. It was built in the Greek Revival style of architecture and was completed in 1842. The home remained in the hands of the Barrington King family until 2002. Barrington Hall is listed on the National Register and was included in Atlanta Magazine's list of the "50 Most Beautiful Homes in Metro Atlanta." Tour this magnificent piece of Georgia's history and get an idea of how the early Atlanta aristocrats lived.
