- Description:
- LaGrange, 1920s-1930s. View of Bellevue, the home of Benjamin Harvey Hill, looking along McLendon Avenue which was originally the driveway to the home. The south end of the drive at Broad Street was closed by the wrought iron gates. The gates are now on the campus of LaGrange College. The Greek Revival home was designed by an architect named Taylor and built in 1854-1855. When the Hill family moved to Athens, Ga. in 1867, the home was sold to the McLendon family. In 1942 the Fuller E. Callaway Foundation acquired the home and presented it to the LaGrange Woman's Club. It has been restored.
