I had the distinct good fortune to tour the May Patterson Goodrum House, by invitation of our lovely neighbor D. It was designed by Georgia’s own Philip Trammell Shutze (1890–1982), and built in 1930. The Watson-Brown Foundation, which owns the house, aims to decorate it to what the house was like in 1936 (as I understand it). The house is on West Paces Ferry just southeast of the Governor’s Mansion (which merely dates to 1969).
The details are what I remember most. This is the view south on the large, high-ceilinged screen porch at the east end of the house.
Chandelier detail, dining room.
Above door, main living room.
South façade of the garage, designed to evoke a church. It overlooks an interesting garden.

So enjoyed seeing these pictures….especially the rainbow chandelier and woodwork detail. It’s a beautiful home and glad that they are taking such care to restore it authentically.
