Aristocrats from the Georgia sea coast, seeking a healthier climate, selected the site of Roswell, and here, on the bluffs overlooking the creeks of the Chattahooche River, they built their plantation homes in the early-19th century. Barrrington King, co-founder of Roswell, selected the highest point in Roswell for his home, Barrington Hall. It was built in the Greek Revival style of architecture and was completed in 1842.
Starting in 2004, Barrington Hall will be available for weddings, family reunions, special events. Tours will be available by advance reservation only.
