"The Antoinette" As you enter the elaborate white Carrara marble stairs for 960 Government ST, you will step back in time of this Southern Architecture Masterpiece. This elegant building, The Antoinette, was built in 1911 as a luxury apartment building for a wealthy businessman who occupied one of the units along with other family members.
