Shellmont Inn Bed and Breakfast is a historic bed and breakfast inn located on Piedmont Ave. in Midtown Atlanta, northeast of downtown. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the William P. Nicolson House. The building is also designated as a historic building by the City of Atlanta. ==History== The Shellmont Inn Bed and Breakfast was built in 1891 by William Perrin Nicolson as a wedding present for his bride, Carolyn Crane. The building was designed by regionally renowned master architect Walter T. Downing in the Eclectic Colonial Revival style. Downing designed many public buildings and churches, such as Sacred Heart Church (1877–98) but his most unique and impressive works were his residential designs where his eclectic and individualistic style shines through.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=W.
