Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

  • Documenting a Property in Atlanta
    DOCUMENTING A PROPERTY IN ATLANTA How and where do you research your historic building in the metro-Atlanta area? Detailed research into the history of a building involves more than determining its construction date and its style. It is important to know something about the neighborhood and era in which it was built, and for whom it was built. What was the owner's role in the community? What was his or her occupation? Was the building built for a prominent family or a working-class household? Was it built for speculation? Was a trained architect involved or was the design purchased from a mail-order house? What social events took place there? I. AGE The information discussed below is designed to help you find the answers to many of these questions about a historic property. A. Deeds (Land History) Deeds are land records that can be traced from the current owner backwards, from the known to the unknown. They include the name of the owner, the location of the property, sale price, and the date the property changed hands. Arrangement is chronological, in the order of entry. Normally deeds are indexed, but the indices are alphabetical by the name of the seller (grantor), listed in a "direct index" and the name of the buyer (grantee) listed in another index called the "reverse index." A sale or change of ownership is a good sign that a new building might have been built subsequent to the filing of the original deed, but only if this date correlates with the presumed construction date of the building.
