- Description:
- View of The Terraces, the residence of Atlanta businessman and politician Edward E. Rawson, on Pryor Street south of downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
The home of Atlanta businessman and politician Edward E. Rawson was built in 1859 on Pryor Street south of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Known as The Terraces, the Greek Revival mansion was surrounded by elaborate gardens incorporating antebellum design elements. During the Federal occupation of Atlanta during the Civil War, the home served as General John Geary's headquarters and escaped destruction. The home was probably demolished in the early 1890s. - Local Identifier:
