Evander Holyfeild's Mansion(maybe not for long)its 54,000 sq ft!
This house sits in the south of Atlanta's suburbs
Did you know the White House is in Georgia and is about to be FORECLOSED on?Well not really but here is a replica in Atlanta's north neighborhoods
One of the original Mansion that used to line Atlanta's famous Peachtree Street,still sits among skycrapers.The Winbush Mansion
this 1920's mansion reminds me of the Hamptons.http://www.dougnewby.com/images/body/neighborhoods/munger_place_and_swiss_avenue/swiss/5439_swiss_1.jpg (broken link)
The Alonzo Herndon Home.He was born a slave in 1858.He eventually worked his way up after becoming a barber,and began owning and operating three barbershops. One of them, the Crystal Palace at 66 Peachtree Street, was considered the most elegant in the country. He invested his barbering income in real estate, becoming by the early 1900's the largest Black property owner in Atlanta. His most significant business venture was launched in 1905, when he acquired what would become Atlanta Life Insurance Company, today the largest Black-owned stockholder insurance company in Americahttp://www.herndonhome.org/images/home.jpg (broken link)
Martin Luther Kings Jr.'s birth home was/is located on "Sweet Auburn".It was considered to be the "Harlem of the South"due to the many black professionals and upper middle class to well to do black families that lived in the area.It was considered THE if not after Harlem,the wealthiest black area in America.
The founder of Rhodes Furniture,built this house from his travels in Europe seeing its grand castles.
Now this one is ridiculous.It belongs to Tyler Perry.Writer,Producer,Actor,and studio owner of his namesake.His movies are."Madea Goes to Jail" and the rest of that series,"The Family That Preys" starring Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard,and many other highly successful box office hits.(almost completed,if not just recently)I mean REALLY,is this necessary?
]as if the old one was TOO SMALL,here it is:
.I hope I don't see his new house in the foreclosure list.If that happens,he needs to get his a'** kicked!
This one belonged to Asa Candler's (Coca-Cola)son Howard.It sit in the area of Atlanta that is in Dekalb county,called Druid Hills.The neighborhood was designed by famous Central Park designer ,Fredrick Law Olmsted.Its one of the few areas in the country where the Olmsted Brothers work can be seen in mass today.Beautiful neighborhood with outstanding collection of small parks and heavily landscaped public areas in which to lie on green grassy knolls. Beautiful houses built by some of America's most notable architects everywhere
