There’s No Other House In The World Like This One In Georgia

One of Georgia’s most beloved homes is a historic treasure for the state with quite an impressive history.

Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1874, the home initially began construction in the 1850s.

Hay House in Macon is quite different from the rest of the architecture in that area, because during that time period everything was being constructed in the Greek Revival style of the antebellum period.

Yet, Hay House was build in Italian Renaissance Revival style, and by walking through the house, you can easily see why.

At over 18,000-square-feet, this mansion has four floors of history to showcase, plus a two-story cupola.

The Hays Family occupied the house from 1926-1962, being the last family to live inside the house before declaring it a landmark.

Today, guests are able to tour the grounds and see for themselves what a true architectural marvel it is.

It is the perfect place to bring your kids and show them what life in Georgia once was.
