The Trout House was one of three hotels in antebellum Atlanta, Georgia, along with the Atlanta Hotel and Washington Hall. It was built in 1849 by Jeremiah F. Trout.[1] It was a four-story brick building at the southwest corner of Decatur and Pryor Streets, facing the union depot and State Square.[2]
Confederate President Jefferson Davis spoke here during his visit to Atlanta of February 16, 1861, although he did not spend the night.[3]
The hotel was destroyed during General Sherman's burning of Atlanta.
