Nestled in the picturesque town of Tate, Georgia, the Tate House stands as a vibrant connection to the region's rich history and architectural beauty. This delightful home, with its unique features and historical significance, invites visitors to step back in time while enjoying a peaceful escape from modern life. My recent visit to the Tate House to check on our FromEuropeToYou GlassHouse structure was a sight to see. We're honored to have been chosen to Design, Engineer and Fabricate this incredible structure for brides and grooms to be married for many years to come.
A Glimpse into

History
The Tate House was built in 1926 and exemplifies the architectural style of its time. Designed as a summer retreat for the Tate family, it carries historical weight due to its ties to the local marble industry. The region is renowned for its beautiful white marble, used in notable buildings like the Georgia State Capitol and even the Lincoln Memorial.
Approaching the house, the grandeur of its marble façade is a site to behold. Intricate details and expansive porches beckon visitors to relax and absorb the serene environment. This structure is not only visually striking; it represents a vital piece of local history that has been carefully preserved.
Unique Features of the Tate House
What makes the Tate House truly captivating are its unique architectural elements. The blend of Colonial Revival and Georgian styles showcases symmetrical designs and classic columns, exuding elegance. Expansive porches are perfect for enjoying warm Georgia evenings, while large windows illuminate the interior, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Inside, the house is adorned with period furnishings. From an elegant dining room displaying exquisite antique china to cozy sitting areas filled with vintage books, each room tells a story of its own. For instance, the dining room contains a stunning chandelier dating back to the 1920s, providing a real glimpse into the lifestyle of the Tate family. The careful attention to detail in every aspect of the décor makes you feel as though you have truly stepped into the past.
The Surrounding Area
The charm of the Tate House extends far beyond its walls. The surrounding area features rolling hills, lush forests, and serene lakes. Tate is located in Pickens County, celebrated for its natural beauty and outdoor adventures. You can find hiking trails, fishing spots, and picnic areas just a short distance away, attracting nature enthusiasts.
