Lumpkin House

The Lumpkin House, adjacent to the Founders Memorial Garden, is Greek Revival style and was built in 1857. Originally built as a faculty residence, the house has served many University functions over the years which include housing the Department of Landscape Architecture during the 1940’s and 1950’s. The Garden Club of Georgia restored and occupied the house as its state headquarters from 1963 to 1998.
