The southern trilogy of homes in Roswell is Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall and the Smith Plantation.
Barrington Hall was built in 1838 by Barrington King, the son of the city’s founder, Roswell King. The family preserved the home for more than 160 years and the city bought it in 2005.
Bulloch Hall was built in 1839 by Major Stephen James Bulloch, one of Roswell’s first settlers. It is also the childhood home of Mittie Roosevelt, the mother of 26th United States President Theodore Roosevelt.
The Smith Plantation was built by one of Roswell’s founding families in 1845. The Smiths and about 30 slaves fled two plantations near Georgia’s coast and settled in Roswell. The home was built by slave labor.
