Briarcliff (mansion)
Briarcliff was the mansion and estate of Asa Griggs "Buddy" Candler, Jr. (1880–1953),〔(Find a Grave )〕 and is now the Briarcliff Campus of Emory University. The estate was built in 1922 on 42 acres on Williams Mill Road, now Briarcliff Road in Druid Hills near Atlanta. Williams Mill Road would be renamed Briarcliff Road in the 1920s after the estate that Asa, Jr. would build there. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.〔
Asa, Jr. was the eccentric son of Asa Griggs Candler, co-founder of Coca-Cola. Candler, Jr. helped build his father's business into an empire. He later became a real-estate developer, opening the Briarcliff Hotel at the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and N. Highland Ave. in Virginia Highland.
==Beginnings as Briarcliff Farm==
In 1910 Asa, Jr. moved from the fashionable Inman Park neighborhood where his father also had a mansion, to a "ramshackle" farmhouse on Briarcliff Farm, . The farm was just north of Callanwolde, his brother Charles' estate. Asa, Jr. managed a huge agricultural operation which provided meat and produce to local retailers. Cows, sheep, pigs and chickens were raised on the farm. During World War I, Briarcliff Farm supplied milk to Fort Gordon.〔("Briarcliff", ''Druid Hills News'', Druid Hills Civic Association, Fall 2007 )〕
The farm was lauded for its use of electric lights and fans, even individual drinking fountains for the cows, its cleanliness, air and light, resulting in sanitary conditions that led to higher yields and quality.〔(J.J. Williams, "Briarcliff", ''Druid Hills News'', Druid Hills Civic Association, Fall 2007 )〕〔("Use of electricity on dairy farms to increase production", ''Electrical Review'', vol. 73, no. 26, Dec. 28, 1918 )〕
