Taylor-Grady House rebranded as Landmark Commons to experience Athens history

Daniel Berger Photography

A new chapter is beginning for Athens only National Historic Landmark, the Taylor-Grady House. 634 Prince is being rebranded as “Landmark Commons” after a small group of volunteers was awarded the lease for the Taylor-Grady House by the ACC Commission.

According to the new administrators of Landmark Commons, its new mission is to be an open door for all to experience an inclusive history through education, preservation and hospitality. We hear from Gwen O’Looney, secretary of the non-profit group administering Landmark Commons.
