Hay House Historic MansionMacon, GA, 31201 912-742-8155 URL : http://www.georgiatrust.org/historic_sites/hay_hou overview : One of Georgias most distinguished structures, the Johnston-Felton-Hay House in Macon was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974. It was built from 1855 to 1859 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, a marked contrast to the more restrained Greek Revival architecture of the antebellum period. collections : Only two families lived in Hay House over three generations. Most of the museums furnishings date from the Hay familys occupancy (1926-1962). A few pieces are from the Johnston family (1860-1896), most notably the Eastlake-style dining room suite. topics : historic homes |
