About Rhodes Hall:
One of the last remaining mansions that once lined Peachtree Street, Rhodes Hall was built in 1904-05 for furniture magnate Amos Giles Rhodes and his family. Located at 1516 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Rhodes Hall is now the headquarters for the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and is operated as a historic house museum. Free parking is available behind the house at 1495 Spring Street. Group tours and special event rentals are available by request.

About the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation:
Founded in 1973, the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation works for the preservation and revitalization of Georgia’s diverse historic resources and advocates their appreciation, protection and use.
As one of the country’s leading statewide, nonprofit preservation organizations, the Trust generates community revitalization by finding buyers for endangered properties acquired by its Revolving Fund and raises awareness of other endangered historic resources through an annual listing of Georgia’s “Places in Peril.” The Trust honors preservation projects and individuals with its annual Preservation Awards and recognizes students and professionals with the Neel Reid Prize and Liz Lyon Fellowship. The Trust offers a variety of educational programs for adults and children, provides technical assistance to property owners and historic communities, advocates for funding, tax incentives and other laws aiding preservation efforts, and manages two house museums in Atlanta (Rhodes Hall) and Macon (Hay House).
