It is also tied to Brittain, a leading Georgia educator who served as state school superintendent and later as president of Georgia Tech. It is one of few early twentieth-century residences left along West Peachtree Street.","narrative":"Built in 1911 on West Peachtree Street in Atlanta, this two-story frame house was constructed for Dr. Marion Luther Brittain, Sr., at a cost of $4,500, with George H. Bray as general contractor. Its entrance facade is dominated by a monumental temple front with four Corinthian columns, along with a dentiled entablature, scroll-cut modillions and a central balcony, all original. The house was divided into four apartments in 1922, which added two upper porches, and it became a doctor's office in 1991. Brittain was Fulton County school superintendent, then state school superintendent from 1910 to 1922, during which many county school systems were consolidated. In 1922 he became president of Georgia Tech, a post he held until 1944. The house is valued both as a well-preserved example of Neoclassical Revival design and for its link to Brittain's influence on Georgia education. It is one of few early residences surviving along a street that has become largely commercial.","period_of_significance":"1911-1922","architect_builder":"Architect unknown; George H.
