Gentry-McClinton House


The Gentry-McClinton House is one of the Landmark Buildings of Atlanta, Georgia. The house is located at 132 East Lake Drive. It became a landmark building for its exterior in 1989, but was listed on the National Register in 1985. The Gentry McClinton home has two stories with a yellow brick exterior. There is also a basement to add to the neoclassical style. Like many southern mansions, this one has a front portico that is the full width of the entire house and is supported by four wooden columns. The columns are considered Doric. There is a gable roof with metal, which has been painted silver in recent years.

The house is on top of a small hill adding to its imposing looks. On the first floor are French doors, a set of three that lead to the portico. The historic house is surrounded by historic trees like magnolia. There is also a horseshoe drive that was once used by carriages. Other buildings on the property have been altered slightly like the old kitchen, furnace house, and barn. Gentry-McClinton house is available for tours of the grounds. It is unknown whether the house can be toured inside.

What a fabulous historic treat this home was. Sadly, there are not tours of the grounds available any longer but the current owners are wonderfully charming and friendly people who were happy to talk about the house. It's worth a walk-by just to see what a remarkable and impressive building this is. A can't miss!!
