Women's Club Holds Tour at The Providence

If you’ve been to Roswell’s historic district anytime within the past few months you’ve probably noticed the new brownstone homes going up. But thanks to the Roswell Women’s Club you’ll be able to do more than just look as you pass by since the "The Providence" has been chosen as the location for the club's prestigious Showcase Home Tour.

Developed by Mike Walsh, the traditional brownstones are located within walking distance of the shops and restaurants lining the historic district’s busy Canton Street in a “tranquil setting that is perfect for families with an active lifestyle.” The residences are named after a book written by Darlene Walsh called “Providence,” which is compiled from letters found in nearby Barrington Hall that date back to the early settlement of the city all the way through the Civil War, according to the Women’s Club.

The homes will be decorated by Cantoni, Room and Board, L. Green Studios, S.N.O.B (Slightly North of Buckhead), Up Towne Designsand Sol Interiors in three styles: modern, contemporary and elegant casual.

Each design group worked on specific portions of the residences:

• Cantoni - entire residence
• L. Green Studios - terrace-level bedroom and patio
• Room and Board - entire residence
• S.N.O.B - living room, dining room, keeping room and kitchen
• Up Towne Designs - terrace-level media room
• Walker & Cross - upper-level guest room, study and bathroom
• Sol Interiors - master bedroom and bathroom

The money raised through ticket sales goes to local non-profits, educational scholarships, educational grants and special projects. Over the past 14 years of hosting the showcase home tour the club has contributed $1.6 million locally.

The showcase tour is open Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.-6 p.m. from Mar. 10-27. For ticket, tour and parking info visit the Roswell Women’s Club online.
