- Description:
- View of unidentified Federal troops standing on the porch of Leyden House on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, during the Civil War when General George H. Thomas, the commander of the Army of the Cumberland, used the house as his headquarters.
Greek Revival; ionic columns
The Leyden House, located on Peachtree Street on the block between Ellis and Cain (now Andrew Young International Boulevard) Streets in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, was designed by John Boutell and built in the late 1850s as the home of William Herring. The Greek Revival residence is often referred to as the Leyden House because Austin Leyden and his family occupied the home for many years. During the Civil War, General George H. Thomas, the commander of the Army of the Cumberland, used the house as his headquarters. It was demolished in 1913 after Asa G. Candler acquired the property for commercial purposes. - Local Identifier:
