Rufus M. Rose House

Rufus M. Rose House is located on Peachtree Northeast in Atlanta, Georgia and is approximately 20 miles from the city's international airport. The house was built in 1901 for the founder of the Four Roses Distillery and was designed by architect Emil Charles Seiz. It is one of only four Victorian mansions remaining on Peachtree Road and has a tiny yard with an Elm tree that was original to the site.

The house has a red brick exterior with multi-gabled and bayed facades with a variety of window shapes and sizes. The house has also retained its slate roof and several original chimneys. Until 1945 the house was entirely a residential property but when it was purchased by James H. Elliot Sr., he opened an antiques store and the Atlanta Museum here.

Both the store and the museum still operate from the house with the latter situated on the second floor. Visitors can see one of the most interesting and certainly oldest museums in the South with over 2,500 historical items. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nearby is the Margaret Mitchell House, which was home to the author of Gone with the Wind.
