Original fireplace in the Bobby Jones room at the L.P. Grant Mansion

When built in 1856, the three-story Grant Mansion originally featured two-foot-thick walls, 10-foot windows, four porches, nine fireplaces and a ballroom.

In 1902, while friends of the Grants, Clara Thomas and "Colonel" Robert Purmedus Jones were staying in the house, Mrs. Jones gave birth to a son - Robert Tyre “Bobby” Jones in the room pictured above. Jones went on to become the legendary golfer and co-founder of The Masters.
