North Georgia Lake Country
Written by TUCKER BERTA SARKISIAN Illustrated by MEREDITH GILLESPIE
An easy two-hour drive from Atlanta and you’re in North Georgia’s lake country, a rural and bucolic part of the state with stunning bodies of water surrounded by scenic mountains. While growing in popularity, the area home to Lakes Burton and Rabun is still semi-wild and a natural playground. It feeds those who relish in finding a new mountain trail, navigating it by waterfalls up to a grand vista—a special reward for making it to the top. It pleases fly fishermen in search of fat and healthy rainbow trout in the clear creeks, and lakeside anglers dropping a line for a largemouth bass. And it certainly fits the bill for anyone who loves a boat or water sport (note the spectacular boathouses). Residents on both lakes love the proximity to downtown Clayton, which is gaining a reputation as one of Georgia’s most appealing small towns with major shopping and dining swag.
30525 HISTORY A town called Powellsville has been lost beneath Lake Burton since 1919, when the Georgia Railway and Power Company (predecessor of Georgia Power) completed the Tallulah Falls dam and hydroelectric plant to meet the needs of a growing society. Powellsville was on the Tallulah River, along with a couple churches, general store, sawmill, gristmill, syrup mill, and moonshine business (Rabun County was the moonshine capital of Georgia). There’s plenty of tall tales about sounds of church bells ringing underneath the water, floating church steeples, and the like. 24

Around town with
Naomi Von Habersham SOME MIGHT SAY that I have an unusual sense of sentimentality. Mostly averse to clutter, I discard those little mementos that others seem to hang onto forever, like birthday cards and concert ticket stubs. Instead, I tend to keep objects that loosely have historical significance. A history buff through and through, I believe there are some things that deserve to be preserved, even if I might be the only one who thinks so. Some of the objects I’ve squirreled away because of their retro design. I still have the very first radio alarm clock I ever owned. It’s quintessentially 1970s with its plastic wood-grain finish and those red digital numbers. Mind you, I no longer use it, but it’s too much of a throwback to throw away. I have also kept the white Trimline phone that I purchased in the ’80s. Now that traditional phones have almost become obsolete, a Trimline phone is not only a blast from the past, it’s also a reminder of how we once coordinated our phones with our decor. Some of you, especially those who have lived in Atlanta for a long time, might find certain items in my archive to be slightly more interesting than an old radio and phone. I’d like to revise my previous statement and say that I do have one ticket stub in my collection, a souvenir of my only visit to The World of Sid and Marty Krofft. (Show of hands— how many of you made the trek down to the Omni to visit that short-lived attraction?) I have a plethora of matchbooks from Atlanta restaurants that haven’t been around for ages, like Trotters and Bugatti. I have even saved promotional music records from such former local establishments as Maier & Berkele Jewelers and the roller-skating rink Jellybeans. OK, so my random archive doesn’t hold a torch to the Atlanta History Center’s awesome collection, which truly is a sight to behold. Even so, I wouldn’t part with any of my mementos, no matter how eccentric they may be. 29

Deeply Rooted Chef Kevin Gillespie strikes gold with NÀDAIR, a tasteful tribute to his Scottish heritage Written by KATE STRICKLAND
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, and that certainly rings true for renowned chef Kevin Gillespie’s ode to family and Highland history. At Nàdair, slip into the scenes of Scotland complete with open-fire cooking, protein-centric dishes, and sustainable practices. For Gillespie, growing up on a parcel of land with a family that maintained a tremendous appreciation for food, plus an emphasis on remembering their roots, inspired two things: his career path and the eventual creation of Nàdair. Encouraged by his family, Gillespie mused the idea of one day creating a Scottish-inspired eatery. When the space of former Atlanta staple Floataway Cafe became available, he seized the opportunity—still unsure what the space would become. When his father passed away the same day that the lease was signed, it solidified his vision for the restaurant. “In my mind, the people I loved would always be here when I decided to open it, and they weren’t any longer,” says Gillespie. “That’s what catalyzed everything.” Deriving from the Scots Gaelic phrase “dòigh nàdair” meaning the way of nature, Nàdair prioritizes sustainability—even the rainwater runoff from the building is used to water the nearby community garden. 30

With the help of designer Wendy Blount, intentionality continues inside where a patterned carpet inspired by the regimental tartan worn by his great-grandfather during World War I humbly sets the scene. And behind the bar amongst Gillespie’s personal whiskey collection sits badges from the Royal Regiment of Scotland. From his family’s Highland hunting estate, tweed covers the back of sultry leather banquettes. “Nothing was just chosen out of pure beauty,” says Gillespie. “It’s either a family heirloom or Spritz with passion fruit liqueur, blueberry, lime, and soda.

brought in to represent something that maybe was in my grandparents’ home.” Utilizing silverware inherited from a great-aunt, diners are offered a truly personal and intimate dining experience. Take on the six-course tasting menu or three-course prix fixe option. “The ingredients—every single one of them—come from a small producer whether that be a farmer, a rancher, or fisherman,” says Gillespie. The constantly changing seasonal menu is heavily influenced not only by Scotland but the Southeast and Maine. The medley of flavors is evident in the Spice Lacquered Pork Shoulder Ham, which takes 15 days to prepare and is cured, smoked, cooked, and paired with collard greens for a Southern twist. Try an elevated version of banoffee pie, a personal favorite of Gillespie’s grandmother, with fried banana and white chocolate chiboust on a bed of salted graham crumble. “The menu development process is oftentimes driven by food memories of my own,” notes Gillespie. More family favorites can be found on the tasteful drink menu including Innis & Gunn beer and the Blood & Sand cocktail with orange juice and scotch. “This isn’t just a concept,” says Gillespie. “It’s the story of my life, it is my family, and my history put onto the plate.” Whether you’re from overseas or right here in Atlanta, when dining at Nàdair guests will see their own family stories reflected back to them. nadairatl.com

Originally a New England Colonial-style home, a 1990s renovation by Harrison Design turned this Tuxedo Park dwelling into a charming English Manor. It’s since seen other renovations, including most recent improvements by David Childers with MacAllan Custom Homes and Charlie Sears with Land Plus.

ATLANTANS FIRST BUILT HOMES in Tuxedo Park in 1904, and its legacy of architectural elegance has remained since. Living in this neighborhood is like owning a piece of Buckhead history. On the exterior, residents are protectors of the past while on the interior, they are pioneers of the future. The Richards family tasked interior designer Kristan Moore of Kristan & Co. to give their circa-1932 estate vibrancy in its next era. The trio, formerly neighbors, worked in simpatico to infuse character and charm. “The most important thing about this house is that it has been a complete collaboration between Britt and Adam and myself,” says Moore. There are touches in every space that the three of us put together.” Now dressed in its traditional best, the home honors its original design while living well for its modern-day family. Inside, happy doses of color welcome upon entering, most notably in the rosy hues that sprout from various corners of the home. Homeowner Britt Richards’ passion for pink is most evident in her formal living room, which is appropriately nicknamed the lady’s sitting room. Here, floor lamps topped with raspberry shades flank the reupholstered tone-on-tone sofa from the couple’s previous home. An abstract by John Torrey takes center stage above the fireplace while eight nudes drawn in

The great room holds true to its name after Burgess and Dixon added boards on the vaulted ceilings, painted the same shade of white as the walls, which visually lifted the space. “The ceilings all of a sudden soared,” says Burgess. “It was one of the biggest singular changes,” agrees Dixon.
