Vinings Pavilion
Vinings was the ideal spot for the Western & Atlantic railroad to build an open air recreation hall in 1864, on the corner of Mountain Street and Ranch Road. It was a popular destination for young couples who would come from Atlanta by train or carriage to picnic and dance away the day until the early 1900s.
In the mid-1940's Hardy Pace's great-great granddaughter Earle Carter Smith bought the Pavilion. Windows were added and the Pavilion served as home to Atlanta's finest antique dealers until the Vinings Historic Preservation Society rescued it from destruction in 1995. In 1996, the Pavilion was moved to its current location alongside the Pace House. (Information from Vinings Historic Preservation Society)
LOCATION: N 33°51.997 W 084°27.864 Located in downtown Vinings.

Hardy Pace's House
This historic house was built with the remains of the 17-room antebellum home of Vinings founder Hardy Pace. The house served as General Sherman's temporary headquarters where he planned the siege of Atlanta. Hardy's son, Solomon Pace, returned home after the Civil War to find the home in ruins. Sometime between 1865 and 1874, Solomon painstakingly rebuilt the home—albeit more modestly—from doors, windows and remnants of several small cabins that survived the fire of the main house.
