It is an excellent example of Queen Anne architecture by noted New York architect Bradford Gilbert. The original form also cites associations with the Raoul family's roles in education, social causes and railroad transportation.","narrative":"Three brick buildings at 848 Peachtree Street in Atlanta make up a rare surviving late 19th-century residential estate. Built in 1891 for railroad executive William G. Raoul and his family, the complex includes a three-story main house, a servants quarters and a carriage house. Architect Bradford Gilbert of New York designed the Queen Anne style buildings and also their interior decorative elements. The house has rose-colored brick walls, slate and heart pine shingles, stained glass windows and detailed millwork. Peachtree Street was once lined with grand houses of Atlanta's prominent families, but nearly all were demolished as commercial development spread north, leaving this group as an unusual survivor. The Raoul family was active in kindergartens, the PTA, women's suffrage, tuberculosis relief and railroads. The Red Cross used the property from 1941 and added an office building in the front yard in 1951. The three historic buildings have seen few changes, though the front porch was removed.","period_of_significance":"1891","architect_builder":"Bradford Gilbert, architect","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Vacant except for a caretaker living in the carriage house; the owners plan renovation for commercial use, such as a small hotel, and demolition of the 1951 office building.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.817417-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/86003298.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93208308","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/fulton-county/raoul-william-g-house-86003298/"}
