For those who may be particularly attentive as they walk through a neighborhood, the question of “What happened in this house?” may be one that comes up quite frequently. Through this interactive and visually compelling website, the Atlanta History Center provides some answers to those questions by looking at four historic homes around that fine Southern city. The structures featured here include Tullie Smith Farm, the Shotgun House, the Swan House, and the Rolader Cabin. As users wander through each home, they can take a virtual tour, learn about the former inhabitants, and read about the broader societal forces at work in each home. Finally, visitors can also download classroom activities and also print out images of each structure.
