References

Holland House was a house in Atlanta, which, in the early 1900s, was the oldest house standing in the city. Different sources state that it was built in 1842^[1] or 1848.^[2] It originally had stood at the northeast corner of Whitehall (now Peachtree St. SE) and Alabama streets,^[1] at the rear of the Republic Block.^[3]

After its construction, it was sold to Edward W. Holland (b. 1807), a hotel owner,^[1] and of the candy manufacturing firm Jack & Holland,^[3] who then passed it along to his son.^[1]

It was used by the engineers and other officers of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and it labeled in an 1881 book as the Engineer's Office. Later it was used as a boarding house - the first in Atlanta.^[3]

The building was later moved to Peters Street (now Trinity Street),^[1] across from Trinity Church^[3] (which stood at the SW corner of Whitehall, now Peachtree St. SW - this would place the Holland House on the northeast side of today's Trinity Ave. between Peachtree and Forsyth). The site is now part of a parking lot.
