Today Cobb Landmarks coordinated tours of the Herndon Home in Atlanta.

Built by Alonzo Herndon—an Atlanta businessman who rose from slavery to become Georgia’s first Black millionaire—this 15-room Beaux-Arts mansion stands as a testament to his determination. Designed primarily by Herndon’s first wife, Adrienne, and constructed by skilled African American craftsmen, the home features a stunning collection of original furnishings, documents, and family photos. A special THANK YOU to our friends at the Herndon Home for welcoming us, and to all the folks who bought tickets and joined us!
