Historic Roswell Place

Haunted Restaurants, Bars, and Hotels in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"The former Roswell Public House on Atlanta Street was home to the nearby mill’s commissary during the 1800s and served as a Union hospital throughout the Civil War. As the story goes, a soldier fell in love with a Southern nurse at the hospital. He was later killed by Confederate soldiers. The young nurse was so grief stricken, she hanged herself on the town green across the street. Over the decades, occupants of the building have heard voices and a piano playing, seen the pair dancing in the loft, and witnessed objects moving. Some have even reported seeing a figure in the upstairs window and a woman walking in the kitchen. The former public house has also been home to several restaurants over years, including Peasant Restaurant, J.Christopher’s, and, most recently, A-Street Restaurant. The ground floor space at Roswell Public House where these restaurants once occupied remains empty for now, but ghost tours in the suburban Atlanta city might make a stop here." - Beth McKibben
