Andrews- Dunn House


The Andres-Dunn House is one of the oldest homes in Atlanta, Georgia still standing. It was designated a Landmark Building for its exterior architecture in 1992. The home was built in 1910 with an addition added in 1929. The addition was built by Ivey and Crook. The architecture is said to reflect the US domestic trend.

Andrews-Dunn house sits in the Ansley Park District of Atlanta. This district is known for its age and its large land holdings prior to the 1920s. George Collier was the owner of over 100 acres of land. When he died a lot of the land went to the city, but some of the acreage was broken down and sold. Part of the land was bought and eventually became the site for the Andrews-Dunn house. Many houses were constructed along the street that eventually became owned by the state. Dr. and Mrs. William Dunn bought the only property and house in 1928, which was the former home of Walter Pemberton Andrews and his with Leontine.

Mrs. Dunn stayed in the house until her death in the 1980s. Today visitors can drive down Peachtree Road and get on Andrews Drive to view the outside architecture of the house.
