Rhodes Hall

Furniture magnate Amos Rhodes, whose business later grew into Rooms To Go, built this Romanesque Revival "castle" on Peachtree Street in 1904 as a home for himself and his wife Amanda. From 1984 to 1992 the mansion operated seasonally as a haunted-house attraction, and paranormal investigators and visitors alike have reported a menacing male presence, EVPs, ghostly figures, lights switching on and off, and doors slamming and locking on their own ever since. The mansion's basement apartment carries the most fearsome reputation, home to a figure staff call the Shadow Man, while the sound of children laughing is heard elsewhere in the house and is generally attributed to Mrs. Rhodes. The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, which now owns and operates the building, runs its own "Legends and Lore" tours exploring the history behind the stories.
