37 Kenilworth Avenue was the third home built in Kenilworth. Franklin Burnham designed the home for himself and his wife, Adelia Burnham. Like the first two homes built in the village, 37 Kenilworth Avenue is an example of the Queen Anne style. Before joining the Kenilworth Company, Franklin Burnham was an accomplished architect. His firm, Edbrooke and Burnham, a partnership with architect Willoughby J. Edbrooke, completed numerous commissions, including the 1889 Georgia State Capitol.
