Circa 1891. This grand Victorian showplace derives its name from two distinctions: the shell motif embossed on the exterior bay and portico and its prominent location on Piedmont Avenue. Architect W.T. Downing further carried out the shell theme with carved wooden shells, bows and garlands. Five panels of stained glass two-stories high accentuate the foyer and are thought to have been designed by Tiffany & Co. Victorian wallpapers and appropriate antiques add to the inn's romantic ambience. It is in the National Register and is a City of Atlanta Landmark building.
