It adds a Tudor-style bath house and documents five outbuildings, all designed by Henry Hornbostel and completed between 1917 and 1921.","why_significant":"The amendment argues the main house, bath house and outbuildings are excellent examples of Tudor-style architecture designed by Henry Hornbostel. The bath house and outbuildings are integral parts of the estate's landscape, recreational and support facilities. The boxwood-lined formal gardens are also significant in landscape architecture.","narrative":"Callanwolde is the Atlanta estate of Charles Howard Candler, president of Coca-Cola, whose main house was listed in 1973. This amendment adds the bath house and the land beneath it, which had been left out originally because of ownership. It also documents five outbuildings on the original 11.9 acres: a carriage house, greenhouse, gardener's cottage, barn and chicken house. Architect Henry Hornbostel of New York and Pittsburgh designed the house and outbuildings, completed between 1917 and 1921. The two-story stone and stucco bath house has half-timbering, steep side-gabled roofs, tall narrow windows and a large chimney carrying the Candler crest. It was built beside a swimming pool that no longer exists, and it is now in disrepair but stabilized for restoration. The buildings are valued as strong examples of Tudor-style design and as parts of the estate's landscape and support facilities. The formal boxwood gardens are noted for landscape architecture. DeKalb County now owns the property, and the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center operates it.","period_of_significance":"1917-1921","architect_builder":"Henry Hornbostel-Architect","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Tudor Revival; Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Late Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The form lists current function as vacant/not in use.
