An architect's own home.

In 1912, well known architect A. Ten Eyck Brown designed home in Atlanta's Ansley Park neighborhood as his family residence. At the time it was built, the newspaper reported it cost about $10,000 and had totally fireproof construction. They lived here for over 20 years, moving to Piedmont Avenue a few years before his death in 1940. In the 1940s, the house was divided into apartments - 7 in the main house, and 2 in a guest house. It remained an apartment house for around 40 years, with no central heat or air conditioning being installed. In the 1980s, the home was converted back into a private residence.
