The President's House on Mimosa Boulevard


Welcome to the World of Carolyn Whitmore Studio & Gallery

  • On quiet, tree-lined Mimosa Boulevard, sits the "President's House"—a remarkable sight even in beautiful, Historic Roswell. The Victorian is currently home to Carolyn Whitmore Studio and Gallery, but the historic house has lived many different lives.

    The grand Victorian was built at the turn of the century when photography itself as an art form was just gaining momentum. Originally, the home was built for S.Y. Stribling, the president of the Roswell Mill and the Roswell Bank, and his family. A portrait of Stribling's great-great-granddaughter can be spotted in the President's House's illustrious Red Room. Visitors can take a walk down the block to the town square, where they'll find tributes to the six prominent founding families of Roswell.
  • Today, the award-winning gardens and sweeping, wrap-around porch reminiscent of simpler times make this historic house the perfect background for the portraits that are brought to life beneath its roof. Hand-carved frames housing fine portraits and paintings grace the historic walls, while nods to the past can be spotted throughout the home, from pocket doors to gilded chandeliers hanging overhead. 

    Historic landscape architect Will Goodman designed the period gardens and hard-scapes, which have won a number of awards including earning recognition from the Roswell Historical Society.

    Inspired by Claude Monèt's gardens at Giverny, from a bubbling waterfall and pond to blooming, bright blue hydrangeas, each garden vignette lends itself to show-stopping portraits. From the turn-of-the-century architecture to the water gardens, no two portraits produced at Carolyn Whitmore Studio and Gallery are ever the same.
