Briarcliff, Historic mansion in DeKalb County, US.

Briarcliff is a Georgian Revival mansion built between 1920 and 1922 for Asa Griggs "Buddie" Candler Jr. Its brown brick facade has light stone quoins, a central portico with two tall white columns, and a roof with three dormers and a low parapet. The left section has arched openings and rectangular windows above a raised stone foundation.

Asa Griggs Candler Jr. ran a 42-acre farm here from 1910, supplying milk to Fort Gordon during World War I. The Georgian Revival mansion was built between 1920 and 1922, with architect Dan Bodin assisting Frazier, and was enlarged in 1925 with a music room. Williams Mill Road was renamed Briarcliff Road after the estate in the 1920s. The Candlers sold it to the General Services Administration in 1948; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Williams Mill Road was renamed Briarcliff Road in the 1920s after the estate. Asa Jr. named his six elephants Coca, Cola, Pause, Refreshes, Refreshing and Delicious, and his menagerie cages were designed by architect Dan Bodin. A neighbor won a $10,000 settlement after a baboon jumped the zoo wall and ate $60 from her purse.

The estate is not regularly open to visitors, so check ahead for viewing opportunities. The area has limited public transport, so a car is recommended.

The building stands as one of the few preserved examples of rural estates from this period near Atlanta. Its location shows how far wealthy city dwellers retreated to the countryside at the time.
