The '''President's House''', also known as the '''Benjamin H. Hill House''' or the '''Grant-Hill-White-Bradshaw House''', was erected in 1856 in Athens, Georgia. The mansion has served as [[University of Georgia]] president's residence since it was donated to the [[University System of Georgia]] in 1949.
[[John T. Grant|John Thomas Grant]] constructed the house in 1856. [[Benjamin Harvey Hill]], who served in both the [[House of Representatives of the United States|House of Representatives]] and [[Us senate|United States Senate]], acquired the house in 1876. Later, James White, founder of the First National Bank of Athens, purchased the property in July 1883. However, his daughter, W. F. Bradshaw, inherited the house upon White's death during the same year.
The Bradley Foundation of [[Columbus, Georgia]], acquired the property from Bradshaw's estate and in 1949 presented it to the University of Georgia as a home for its president. With the help of donations from the Bradley Foundation, the [[Georgia Board of Regents]] acquired the property in the early 1940s. The [[University of Georgia]] restored the house and grounds; Cooper, Bond, and Cooper were the architects in charge of remodelling, and Hubert B. Owens, A.S.L.A., designed the rear gardens. The front yard was refurbished in 1965.
The house is one of the oldest buildings in Athens, Georgia. The University of Georgia President's House was documented by the [[Historic American Buildings Survey]] and as of March 16, 1972 is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="President's House">{{cite web|title=University of Georgia President's House|url=http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/UGA_Presidents_House.htm|publisher=University System of Georgia|accessdate=16 February 2013|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130410000920/http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/UGA_Presidents_House.htm|archivedate=10 April 2013}}</ref>
