Herndon Home, Historical museum in Atlanta, United States.
The Herndon Home Museum displays a Classical Revival mansion with Beaux Arts elements, featuring detailed stone carvings and decorative wood throughout its two stories.
Built in 1910, this residence belonged to Alonzo Herndon, who rose from slavery to establish the Atlanta Life Insurance Company and become Atlanta's first Black millionaire.
African American craftsmen constructed this mansion, incorporating architectural elements that reflect both European design influences and Black achievement in the early 1900s.
Located at 587 University Place NW, the museum provides guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical significance of each room.
The mansion includes a rooftop terrace specifically designed for theatrical performances, reflecting Adrienne Herndon's career as a drama instructor.
