Swan House, Classical mansion in Buckhead, United States
Swan House is a residence in the historic Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta and displays a classical building style with elements from the Italian Renaissance and English traditions. The property includes a symmetrical stone facade, several interior salons, and terraced outdoor areas with fountains and sculptures.
Philip Trammell Shutze designed the house in 1928 for Edward and Emily Inman, whose fortune came from cotton trading. The family used the residence until the 1960s, before it became part of the Atlanta History Center.
The Inman family collected art and furniture across several centuries and displayed them throughout the rooms. Visitors today still see the original furnishings with their handcrafted details and fabrics.
The tour leads through several rooms and the garden, requiring visitors to climb stairs. The best time to visit is in the morning, when fewer other groups are present.
The residence served as a filming location for scenes in the Hunger Games films and represented the Presidential palace. Some visitors come specifically because of this connection to cinema.
