The next stop on the Historic Southern Homes tour is Swan House in Atlanta, GA. Behind the iron gate, this 28-acre estate was built in 1928 by architect Philip Trammell Shutze. The house was originally built for a family that had made their money in cotton, among other investments, but was bought by the Atlanta Historical Society in 1966. As if this ginormous house left something to be desired, you can also find lavish gardens on the property, full of fountains, pools, terraces, and rose gardens.
The Atlanta Historical Society still owns the mansion and offers daily tours. Much of the original furniture remains in the house, which is maintained as a typical 1920s American estate.
Side note for all you Katniss fans: Swan House was used in the filming of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. You can now take The Capitol tour, which includes a behind-the-scenes exhibit of the movie.
