The exterior paint was peeling and the yard was
overgrown. Inside, there was a fair amount of fire
damage that was never repaired, cracks in the plaster
and a litany of other aesthetic issues that needed to be
resolved.
“From the outside, it wasn’t quite to the level of
Grey Gardens-esque, but it was close,” Sheppard said.
But once he stepped inside, he said he saw
something special in the house and that the important
elements of the house itself were not nearly in as bad
of shape and the exterior hinted they might be.
While restoring a 7,000-square-foot mansion
from the 1830s might seem like a daunting task – and
it certainly was – Sheppard was no stranger to historic
real estate. He is a real estate broker with Ansley Real
Estate in Atlanta and has his masters from the
University of Georgia in historic preservation, so
taking on the restoration and preservation of the
Rockwell House was something he had seemingly
been preparing for his whole life.
Thus entered Walker, who works in marketin and
Hawkins, who is the executive director of the Stanley
M. Herzog Charitable Foundation. Together, the three
of them took on the massive task creating the next
phase of The Rockwell House’s life.
