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 Swan House for Edward and Emily Inman, whose wealth came from cotton brokerage and investments in transport, banking and real estate. Construction began in 1925 and the family moved in March 1928. After Edward died in 1931, Emily lived there until 1965; the Atlanta Historical Society bought the house in 1966.

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 house sits atop a hill, with a rear staircase and water cascade descending the slope; the terraced lawns and stone steps mean plenty of walking and climbing. The 1966 purchase by the Atlanta Historical Society turned the mansion into a museum, and a separate headquarters building was later added on the estate grounds.

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.
