Significance: The Swan House was designed and built in 1928 for Edward and Emily Inman, a couple from Atlanta, Georgia, who had built their fortune from the cotton brokerage and various other investments. Philip Trammel Shutze, a preeminent architect among wealthy Atlantans in the early 20th century, designed the Swan House and surrounding gardens. The Swan House is the best remaining example of Shutze's major residential commissions in Atlanta.
