Photograph of the west facade of the Edward H. Inman House in Atlanta, Georgia. This house exemplifies the Second Renaissance Revival architectural style. A double staircase leads up a slope to the home. A cascading fountain descends between the staircases. Also known as Swan House, this is one of architect Philip Trammell Shutze's best-known works with the partnership Hentz, Adler and Shutze. Mrs. Inman chose the swan motif from which the house gets its name.
