African American Home Tour: Herndon Home During the Holidays
Completed in 1910, the Herndon Home, was the residence of Alonzo Herndon and his family. Herdon was a former slave raised in a sharecropping family after the Civil War. Herndon studied barbering, and owned and managed a string of barbershops in downtown Atlanta after the Civil War, one of which was considered to be the most elegant in the country with marble floors and chandelier. Investing his income into real estate, Herndon became the largest black property owner in Atlanta by 1900. Later, Herndon founded the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, located in the Sweet Auburn Historic District, and became Atlanta’s first black millionaire. The home was primarily designed by Adrienne Herndon, Alonzo’s first wife and a teacher at Atlanta University. The couple had one son, Norris.
On November 22 1950 Norris Herndon established The Alonzo F and Norris B Herndon Foundation Inc The Foundation was established as a non profit corporation to be used exclusively for religious charitable scientific literary and educational purposes Since its inception the Foundation has been a major benefactor to metro Atlanta institutions and organizations including but not limited to First Congregational Church Gate City Day Nursery Association Greater Atlanta Community Chest and Morris Brown College At the national level the Foundation supported the cause of economic and social development associated with the civil rights movement via contributions to the United Negro College Fund Inc and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc Since 1983 the Foundation has been committed to the financial support and operation of the Herndon family residence as a home museum In the year 2000 the Herndon Home Museum was added to the distinguished list of properties of the National Register of Historic Places Today the Foundation continues to support a number of charitable endeavors including projects designed to stoke the same entrepreneurial dedication exemplified by the Herndon legacyWe adore this holiday crystal collectionSuch a fun holiday tree with a classic styleThis table is set and ready for guestsSo many memories of holiday brunchNothing like a holiday tree in the foyer
Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes 🙂
