Taylor-Grady House at Landmark Commons
A new chapter is beginning for Athens’ only National Historic Landmark, the Taylor-Grady House. 634 Prince Avenue will now be known as Landmark Commons. The property includes not only the Taylor-Grady House, but also gardens, the original outkitchen, and summer dining room. The mission of Landmark Commons is to be an open door for all to experience an inclusive history through education, preservation and hospitality. This new approach to making Taylor-Grady accessible to all does not end the era of elegant weddings and gala events. But the new services will make possible a variety of meeting, training and small event spaces with special rates and accommodations for Athens’ nonprofit and civic services.
“We want to have a space accessible to and used by all our community. Taylor-Grady House will always be a premier wedding venue, but a spectrum of community events is our goal with Landmark Commons at Taylor-Grady House,”
— Vice Chair Alex Sams

PLEASE HELP US RESTORE THE TAYLOR-GRADY HOUSE DOVECOTE-KITCHEN
Restoration of the Dovecote-Kitchen will allow us to offer educational programs, including cooking demonstrations and classes, for school trips and tours. We strive to provide a deeper understanding of the slaves and free people who lived and worked in Athens’ only National Historic Landmark. Taylor-Grady House is part of Athens-Clarke County’s heritage, and restoration of the Dovecote-Kitchen will benefit this and future generations.
