Rhodes, Amos Giles, 1850-1928
Amos Rhodes arrived in Atlanta in 1875, and married his wife Amanda Dougherty in 1876. He began a furniture business in 1879 that would make him wealthy. In addition to the original firm of A.G. Rhodes & Son, Rhodes formed a partnership with J. J. Haverty in 1889. The headquarters of Rhodes-Haverty was moved to St. Louis in 1891, to better serve what Rhodes saw as a ripe market there for his brand of furniture merchandising. Atlanta was home, however, to both men and in 1893 the headquarters of Rhodes-Haverty returned to Atlanta.
