context_page_description: Holland House was a house in Atlanta, which, in the early 1900s, was the oldest house standing in the city. Different sources state that it was built in 1842 or 1848. It originally had stood at the northeast corner of Whitehall and Alabama streets, at the rear of the Republic Block.
  After its construction, it was sold to Edward W. Holland, a hotel owner, and of the candy manufacturing firm Jack & Holland, who then passed it along to his son.
  It was used by the engineers and other officers of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and it labeled in an 1881 book as the Engineer's Office. Later it was used as a boarding house - the first in Atlanta.
  The building was later moved to Peters Street, across from Trinity Church. The site is now part of a parking lot.
