In the 1830s, Barrington King and his father, Roswell King, co-founded the colony which became Roswell, Georgia. On the highest point, over-looking the town, Barrington built a magnificent home for his family which today is recognized as one of the best examples of Greek Revival Temple Architecture in the United States. Barrington Hall has been painstakingly restored and is furnished with many original family possessions. The surrounding seven acres of original grounds look much as they did 160 years ago.
The property was purchased by the City of Roswell in January 2005, to be developed as Roswell’s third unique historic house museum. It is open to the public for tours, many educational activities and events.
Barrington Hall is located at 535 Barrington Drive - at the corner of S. Atlanta Street (Highway 9) and Marietta Highway (Highway 120).
