The vast beloved door of this 1910 opens into design and decor that evoke the past century. The overarching style is Craftsman, especially in such decorative features such as the fireplaces.

Homeowners Krista Brewer and Gary Flack have used the strong simple lines of the house as a backdrop for paintings, prints and other works of art both contemporary and early twentieth-century.

Many of the furnishings and lights are custom designs that resonate with Frank Lloyd Wright's "Prairie" style.

The story goes that #812 is one of two side-by-side houses commissioned for siblings (with #804).

The spacious kitchen was created from a warren of rooms including a two-story service porch and pantry.

A double staircase, a tiered garden that can be enjoyed through double-hung windows in the breakfast room and second-floor sleeping porches, are among the house's special features.

If you go: Druid Hills Tour of Homes; Saturday, April 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday, April 22, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
