Leyden House, Greek Revival mansion on Peachtree Street, Atlanta, US
The Leyden House featured prominent Ionic columns adorning its front and sides, exemplifying the symmetrical designs of Greek Revival architecture.
During the Civil War period, General George H. Thomas established his Army of the Cumberland headquarters within the walls of this residence.
The residence belonged to Austin Leyden, who established the first foundry in Atlanta through his co-founding of Atlanta Machine Works in 1848.
The columns from the original structure remain preserved at the Old Woodberry School Building, located at 149 Peachtree Circle in Ansley Park.
The property stood from 1858 until 1913, when Asa G. Candler acquired it for commercial development, leading to the construction of Davison's department store.
