Tour the Bailey~Tebault House
The Griffin-Spalding Historical Society invites visitors to explore the beautifully preserved Bailey-Tebault House, a stunning example of Greek Revival architecture with a rich history. The house offers a glimpse into 19th-century life, including unique features such as a curving staircase, decorative crown moldings, and the historic dependency buildings, including Aunt Sophie’s cottage, the carriage house, and the apothecary building.
about the house
Built by David Jackson Bailey and his wife, Susan Mary Grantland, the home was their city residence in Griffin, chosen for its educational opportunities for their children. Construction began in 1859 and was completed in 1862, despite delays caused by the Civil War. Over the years, the house has served as a family home, a hospital, Griffin’s first nursing school, and a funeral home, before becoming the headquarters of the Griffin-Spalding Historical Society in 1987. Many original architectural details and furnishings, including pieces from the Bailey family, have been preserved or returned to the home.
