Smith. The buildings were moved to the Atlanta Historical Society grounds at 3099 Andrews Drive, N.W., Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia.","why_significant":"The house is a typical example of early Georgia \"plantation plain\" farmhouse architecture, a modest wooden type that is rapidly disappearing. Its kitchen is believed to be the only surviving detached kitchen in the Atlanta area. The buildings are among the few tangible survivals of Atlanta's pioneer period, predating the founding of Atlanta in 1845, and are being restored for educational use.","narrative":"Tullie Smith House is a two-story clapboard farmhouse with a low gable roof, a brick chimney at each end and a shed roof across the rear. Built about 1835-40 by Robert H. Smith, who came from North Carolina and settled in DeKalb County, it is a surviving example of what architectural historian Frederick Doveton Nichols called the \"plantation plain\" style. A small braced-frame kitchen building with a rock-and-brick chimney accompanies it and is believed to be the only detached kitchen still standing in the Atlanta area. As expressways and office parks grew around the property, the family's heirs donated the buildings, and a banker funded moving them to the Atlanta Historical Society grounds beside Swan House. Restoration aims to return the house to its original appearance. The buildings matter because plain-style wooden houses are often overlooked and are disappearing, and few tangible traces of Atlanta's frontier years remain.","period_of_significance":"c. 1835-40; 1970 (19th and 20th centuries)","architect_builder":"Robert H.
