In December 2001, the Atlanta Preservation Center purchased the antebellum home of Lemuel Pratt Grant and his first wife, Laura Loomis Williams Grant. They built it on 600 acres of land. Calvin Fey designed the three-story Italianate structure, and construction began in 1854, and completed two years later. The family would live here until the start of the Civil War. In 1863 this house was where L.P. Grant designed 33-mile fortifications during the war. This was to become Atlanta’s first city-owned public park. The home is also the birthplace of golf legend Robert “Bobby” Tyre Jones Jr., and was saved from demolition by Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell.

The Atlanta Preservation Center is the city’s oldest private non-profit preservation organization. It was founded in 1979 to promote the preservation of Atlanta's architecturally, historically and culturally significant buildings, neighborhoods and landscapes through education and advocacy.
