History
This stately home was originally constructed to serve as a boys’ school known as the Piedmont Institute, which officially opened its doors in 1850.During the Civil War, the school was temporarily closed, and the building was repurposed as a hospital to care for the wounded. After the war, Piedmont reopened as a girls’ school, continuing its role in education for many years.
Eventually, it served as a public school before being thoughtfully improved and transformed into a private residence in 1913.
Today, the property stands as a remarkable blend of historic charm and enduring craftsmanship, reflecting nearly two centuries of local history.
