This article is about the Alonzo Herndon family home. For the demolished public housing projects, see Herndon Homes. For other uses, see Herndon House (disambiguation).
The Herndon Home is a historic house museum and National Historic Landmark at 587 University Place NW, in Atlanta, Georgia. An elegant Classical Revival mansion with Beaux Arts influences, it was the home of Alonzo Franklin Herndon (1858-1927), a rags-to-riches success story who was born into slavery, but went on to become Atlanta's first black millionaire as founder and head of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company. The house was designed by his wife Adrienne, and was almost entirely built with African-American labor. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2000,[2][3] and had previously been declared a "landmark building exterior" by the city of Atlanta in 1989.[4]
