Glenridge Hall is a beautiful 1929 home sited on 47 acres of grounds and gardens in Sandy Springs, Georgia. In the winter of 1927 Thomas K Glenn met Elizabeth Ewing, courted her, and in September married her. He was 59; she was 48. TK had been a widower for thirteen years, raised two sons, and prospered. In 1928 the couple commissioned Atlanta society architects to design houses for four different pieces of property Glenn owned: a Paces Ferry Road Italianate villa designed by Francis Smith (directly across from the already famous Swan House), a Sea Island Rococo-style beach house by Philip Schutze, a Sandy Springs Tudor country house by Samuel Inman Cooper, and a simple but elegant four-bedroom Neil Reid style mountain cottage on the Highlands Country Club golf course. Glenridge Hall holds many ties with Atlanta history. TK’s sister Flora married Asa Candler’s eldest son Charles Howard Candler, and they built the Tudor-style “Callanwolde” (1920), now the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center of DeKalb County. TK’s first wife Agnes (1882-1914), by whom TK had two sons Wadley Raoul and Wilbur Fisk, was a daughter of Captain William Greene Raoul who built the Mexican National and the Southern railroads.
