Rainbow Terrace, Mediterranean Revival mansion in Druid Hills Historic District, Atlanta, US.
Rainbow Terrace is a residential building with Mediterranean Revival style in Atlanta's Druid Hills neighborhood, converted from a former mansion into condominiums. The structure features symmetrical facades with red clay roof tiles, ornate arches, decorative wrought iron balconies, and surrounds extensive garden spaces.
The building was constructed in the 1920s for Lucy Beall Candler Owens Heinz, daughter of Coca-Cola co-founder Asa Griggs Candler, and designed by architect G. Lloyd Preacher. It was later converted into residential units and remains a preserved part of the historic neighborhood.
The house displays Mediterranean design elements that became fashionable in American homes during the 1920s and continue to define its visual character today. These architectural features remain part of the historic identity of the Druid Hills neighborhood.
The property is now managed by the Lullwater Estate Owners' Association and operates as a residential condominium community. The grounds and gardens are partially accessible to visitors, though respect for residents' privacy and community guidelines is necessary.
In the 1940s, the property became the site of a crime that drew significant national attention and unexpectedly linked its history to major events of the era. This dramatic past remains lesser-known to many visitors today but fascinates those interested in local history.
