About This Image

I’ve mentioned before that during the years I lived in the Atlanta area, Roswell was one of my favorite places to visit. The Smith Plantation is a beautiful illustration of why I liked the area. Parts of historic Roswell still had a small town “homey” feel. It doesn’t feel like suburbia when you look at a scenic view like this does it?

This beautiful old antebellum home was built for Archibald Smith in 1845. His family moved from the Georgia coast and were among the founding families of Roswell. I’ve seen Smith Plantation described as either Georgian or vernacular in style. Certainly it has the symmetry loved by the Georgians but it’s not perfectly Georgian so I can see the varying opinion on architectural style. Whatever the case, to me this reminds me more of Tara from Gone With The Wind than many of the later and grander neoclassical mansions for which the American South is so well known.

Smith Plantation is one of those rarer stories where the home remained in the same family across the passing generations. In fact, it was the house was home to the Smith family up until it was sold to the city of Roswell in the 1980’s to be used as a museum. So it’s a beautifully preserved example of an antebellum plantation home. Standing at the end of the walk gazing up, it’s possible to imagine that one has stepped back in time. There’s no sense of suburban Atlanta or the 21st century in general. Give all that it’s not surprising that Smith Plantation is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Have you visited Smith Plantation? Or perhaps you live or have lived in historic Roswell, Georgia? Or maybe, like me, you just love beautiful old architecture? I hope you will take a second to share what attracted you to this particular antebellum art print?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
