United States, Georgia, Fulton County, Roswell, 34.02316, -84.36159Tuggle, Frank1953-05View of a breakfast held at Mimosa Hall during opera week in Roswell, Georgia.Mimosa Hall was built circa 1840 by John Dunwoody, one of the first settlers of Roswell, Georgia, located northwest of Atlanta. This brick, Greek Revival style mansion replaced Dunwoody Hall-an earlier wooden house on the same site with the same house plan that burned the night of its housewarming. Originally called Phoenix Hall, the second iteration was later renamed Mimosa Hall by the wife of its second owner, Mrs. W. A. Hansell, who was inspired by the mimosa trees on the property. In 1958, fire destroyed fifty percent of the landmark after lightning struck it. The house was subsequently restored.image/jpegVIS 170.2623.001ahc1702623001Atlanta, Ga. : Kenan Research Centerhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Atlanta History Photograph CollectionHouses--Georgia--RoswellOperas & operettasFood--GeorgiaMen--1950-1960Women--1950-1960Mimosa Hall (Roswell, Ga.)Mimosa Hall BreakfastStillImage
