Taylor-Grady House

This Greek Revival mansion, built in 1844 by General Robert Taylor, is a National Historic Landmark and one of Athens' finest examples of antebellum architecture. Later home to Henry W. Grady, the influential editor of the Atlanta Constitution and advocate for the "New South" movement. The house features 13 massive fluted Doric columns and beautiful period furnishings. Now owned by Athens-Clarke County, it serves as a museum and event venue.
