This image shows the Inman Orphanage in Atlanta, Georgia. This large three-story structure was built in the Victorian architectural style. The central four-story tower has an concave mansard roof, and this is repeated on the side sections of the building. The Inman family donated a portion of their wealth to many charitable causes in Atlanta, including several colleges, the Confederate Soldiers' Home, Grady Memorial Hospital, and this orphanage. The Inmans were representative of those members of the planter class who lost much of their wealth during the Civil War but recouped their fortunes in a postwar urban environment. - Metadata URL:
