 1910 Tudor Revival |
2801 Andrews Drive (at Peachtree Road) Atlanta, GA 30301 United States |
This residence was built in 1910 for the Andrews family and is an architectural anchor of the affluent Peachtree Heights neighborhood. Although the name of the original architect has been lost, the famed architectural team of Ivey and Crook was responsible for the substantial expansion that took place in 1928, which was commissioned by the Dunn family. The Tudor Revival style of the home is reminiscent of old English manors, with half-timbering casement windows and a green shingled roof. This house is not open to the public.

150 Years of Worship |
2744 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 365 1000 http://www.stphilipscathedral.org |
Established in 1847, this mammoth cathedral has served as the seat of Atlanta's Episcopalian diocese for more that 150 years. The most peculiar aspect of the church's design is the Hall of Bishops, a 40-foot hexagon that features 11 circular paths that form a sort of labyrinth, meant to represent the pilgrimages of the Middle Ages. Tours of the facility are offered on Sunday mornings, or by appointment during the week. Services are also held daily throughout the week, with a special Spanish service on Sundays at 1:30p.

1830s home |
3931 Peachtree Street Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 233 2794 |
This log cabin in the midst of the city is one of the oldest houses. Named for original owner Samuel Goodwin, the home is open for free tours every third Sunday. Goodwin came to the area from South Carolina in 1837 and built the house along the Echota Indian Trail on a 600-acre homestead. The family cemetery, home to five generations of Goodwins, is located nearby amid sprawling magnolias. Lynda Martin, the great-great-great-great granddaughter of Goodwin, currently lives in the house and leads the monthly tours. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Grand Granite Castle |
1516 Peachtree St Atlanta, GA 30309 United States +1 404 885 7800 http://www.georgiatrust.org/hi... |
Constructed in the Romanesque Revival style, this magnificent castle took two full years to build. It was designed in 1902 by Willis F. Denny II for one of Atlanta's richest men, Amos Rhodes, the man responsible for originating the installment plan of selling furniture. The structure itself defies real classification, and is one of the most eccentric buildings to come out of "la Belle Epoque" in Atlanta. An ongoing renovation project has restored much of the original luster. Tours and special events are available at Rhodes Hall. See website for details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Sweet Beer |
195 Ottley Drive Atlanta, GA 30324 United States +1 404 691 2537 http://www.sweetwaterbrew.com/ sweetwaterbrew@mindspring.com |
SweetWater is a 30,000-barrel microbrewery located in Atlanta that specializes in producing aggressive West Coast style beers to be enjoyed in the Southeast US. The law doesn't allow the beer to be sold directly out of the brewery. So they're sent to the wholesalers, who in turn sell it to bars, restaurants and grocery stores. The brewery won the award for Best Small Brewery at the 2002 Great American Beer Festival. The brewery also hosts a lot of events that include Beer Dinners and the Brewgrass music festival.
