Brannon-Heard House Community & Cultural Events

The beautiful, two-story, historic Brannon-Heard House, circa 1905, is a perfect venue for a small weddings and receptions. Complete with stairwell, original hardwood floors, wrap-around porch, fire places, even an old fashioned pump organ - all promising to make your wedding a true classic while providing a beautiful backdrop to your wedding photographs.

Spring and Summer promises seasonal blooming plants in the oversized flower containers on the front lawn.

During the Holiday Season, beginning about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, the house is beautifully decorated with burgundy ribbon and greenery with single candle lights in the windows – creating a perfect setting for a Christmas Wedding.

The Brannon-Heard House Project - Circa 1905

Built by Charlie Brannon around 1905 and known as The Brannon Hotel.
Purchased in 1945 by the Cliff Heard Family to be used first as the family's primary dwelling and then later as Heard's Antiques.
Purchased in 2006 by The City of Cumming for the purpose of restoration and to make the building again functional. Although not a candidate for the National Historic Register, the historical significance of the architectural style is important to the town's history. And it’ s location a focal point for visitors to the town made it a worthy site to restore.
Funded by The City of Cumming with contingency monies set aside for this specific purpose.
In 2006, the City of Cumming Collectible Pewter Ornament carried the sketch of the house as drawn by Dr. David Hleap. These will be available at the Brannon Heard House. Other known artists who have drawn or painted the house are: Virginia Heard (daughter of the owner), Trudi Dunham, Frank Hancock, a member of the Sawnee Artists Association and possibly an artist who signed her paintings, Raine. We are sure there are countless others whose art is unknown to us. The old house seems to have earned its right to restoration with so many people caring about it.
