HOUSE WITH A SECRET ROOM!

Magnolia Terrace, c. 1846 in Covington features a secret room, accessible only through the attic! This home was named for the twin magnolias flanking the entrance to the home. According to some, soldiers stayed in the hidden room during the Civil War. During the years the Callaway family owned Magnolia Terrace, the Breakfast Room had murals painted by Paul Refoule. During a house tour in the late 1940s, people flocked to see the Breakfast Room murals by Refoule. Paul Refoule was the prime suspect in the 1947 murder of his wife, Margaret Alston Refoule, in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood. He was later cleared as a suspect, and the real killer remains unknown. Private residence. #covingtonga #atlantamurder #historicpreservation #greekrevival #unsolvedmurder
