Denny for Victor H. Kriegshaber.","why_significant":"The house is tied to Victor Hugo Kriegshaber, a builder-supply businessman and cultural and civic leader in early twentieth-century Atlanta who lived there until 1924. It is also a fine example of the work of architect Willis F. Denny. Its mix of late Victorian and eclectic details marks a transitional style. The nomination rates its significance as local.","narrative":"Located at the corner of Moreland and Austin avenues on the edge of Inman Park in Atlanta, this house was designed by Willis F. Denny and built about 1900 for Victor H. Kriegshaber. It is a one-story wood-frame building faced in creamy yellow brick, with a slate hipped roof, terra cotta trim, a semi-circular portico of paired Ionic columns, and stained-glass transoms over its windows. Its ornament runs from Queen Anne to Beaux Arts Classicism, a transition between Victorian Inman Park and later eclectic Atlanta architecture. Kriegshaber, born in 1859, came to Atlanta in 1889, became a contractor and president of a building materials supply company, and led business, charitable and musical organizations, including the Atlanta Philharmonic Society. Denny, who died in 1905, designed many of the city's hotels and churches. Later uses included a church, a dance school, and an architectural antiques business. Interior walls were altered, but the dining room and cherrywood details remain.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1900","architect_builder":"Willis F.
