Rhododendron Hall, Estate of the Day
Today's home is one of the loveliest in Atlanta's Tuxedo Park area. Rhododendron Hall is on over ten acres and was built in 1934. The home was the Atlanta Symphony Associates Decorators' Show House in 1997. The 11-bedroom mansion is full of many lavish details including leaded glass windows, paneled wood walls, beamed ceilings, crystal chandeliers, arched doorways and more. One particularly lovely touch is a long hallway with a painted vaulted ceiling. A glassed in solarium is also particularly beautiful. Outside, the landscaped grounds include a pool and a pavilion with an outdoor fireplace. This home is listed at $14.9 million.

It is a lovely manor house although some of the furnishings currently used aren't exactly complementing it too well. To each their own of course and that doesn't convey with the sale anyhow.
All that Coca-Cola money was well spent on the solid construction and execution of the estate (1928 -1930) during the golden era of high quality detail work is evident. The property was built for Samuel Candler Dobbs, the third President of Coca-Cola.
When the property was the decorator's showcase house in 1997 it was for sale via Harry Norman Realtors and sold in Nov of 1997 for $3.7M. The property returned to market and sold again in July 2007 for $10M. Interestingly the property was listed for sale a year ago (July 2009) for just $8.2M

Beautiful!! I was surprised tho, to hear this was in Atlanta. It's more like Tuxedo Park, New York, or Greenwich. It still looks brand new. Who was the architect?

The Sears Family photo over the fireplace is just tacky. Also, the why include a photo of a room with water damage on the wall? Those are fake persian rugs in the solarium--you'd think the owner could afford some decent carpets. Finally, that ridiculous meandering concrete sidewalk in the "woods" needs to go!
When you try to hard, it becomes obvious.
