Atlanta Mansion With Gorgeous Colonial Revival Details
Built in 1891 by renowned architect Walter Downing, Atlanta’s historic Nicolson House owes its spectacular condition to the fact that it has owned and maintained by just three families. Period details like plaster moldings and spectacular stained glass windows share space with contemporary perks like a state of the art kitchen and a carriage house that serves as a rental property.
