The L.P. Grant Mansion before restoration began

Pictured above is the 1856 L.P. Grant Mansion prior to restoration efforts in the early to mid 2000s. In 2001, the Atlanta Preservation Center purchased Atlanta's most endangered historic building. The 1856 Italianate mansion once stood three stories but by 2001, neglect and damage had reduced the Grant Mansion to one first floor and no roof.
