This room, the former Master Bedroom, is also the site of the 1902 birth place of legendary golfer, Bobby Jones.

Jones' parents, who lived in Canton, Georgia, were friends of one of the Grants' sons. The parents wanted to be closer to medical care in the event it was needed for Jones' birth and were offered the use of this room and its adjacent dressing room. On March 17, 1902, Robert Tyre 'Bobby' Jones was born in this southwest main floor bedroom. The Jones lived in the Grant Mansion for about a year.

The original walls are coated in plaster from the home's construction in 1856.
