It was designed by John Wind, described as the most important architect of Thomas County and Thomasville. It is also tied to Augustine Hansell, a mayor, judge and militia officer, and has stayed in the same family since it was built.","narrative":"Built in 1852-53 for Augustine Hansell, this one and one-half story frame cottage at 429 South Hansell Street in Thomasville was designed by John Wind, described as the most important architect in Thomas County and Thomasville. The center-hall house has four rooms, a heavy overhanging portico on six square columns, clapboard siding except on the front, and an entrance with sidelights and a fixed transom. Inside, the Greek Revival woodwork is almost all original, including doorways, an enclosed stairway, and four fireplaces with carved mantels. A kitchen wing and bedroom wing were added in 1927 and are noted as not detracting from the house. Hansell served as mayor in 1859, as a Superior Court judge, and as a lieutenant in the Thomasville Guards, and he organized the Thomas Reserves. The house stayed in his family for generations. It was recognized as one of the three best cottages in Thomasville, and later correspondence records its name as the Augustine H. Hansell House.","period_of_significance":"1852-53","architect_builder":"John Wind","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as occupied, in use as a private residence, and in excellent condition at the time of the 1969-70 nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.2233-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/70000221.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/70000221/415ea48824-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/70000221/415ea48824-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.5","author":"Ebyabe","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thomasville_GA_Hansell_House01.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ebyabe</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.5</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thomasville_GA_Hansell_House01.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209645","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine_Hansell_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4821174"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/thomas-county/hansell-augustine-house-70000221/"}
