- Description:
- Calhoun, 1976. Home located on East Belmont Drive which is part of the Peters Farm. About 1830 Richard Peters of Atlanta purchased some 4000 acres in what was to become in 1850 Gordon County. He came to Atlanta from Pennsylvania. He was a civil engineer and achieved prominence in Atlanta. During the Civil War the farm buildings were not destroyed and Union troops were housed there. This home was built after the war. Over the years a number of members of the Peters family has owned the farm which has itself undergone changes. In 1950 the home and some 160 acres was purchased by Burton J. Bell.
