Stone Mountain Park
|
|
|
This 3200-acre Atlanta park surrounds the world's largest granite monolith – you can walk to the top or take a chairlift both ways. A park highlight (and its telltale feature) is a carving on the sheer rock mountainside that honors Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.

This Atlanta club is, indeed, a compound. Fashioned from a series of separate structures and linked by a minimalist courtyard that surrounds a reflecting pool, the fabulous place is comprised of several venues.
