Built for florist D. C. Horgan from plans dated 1922 and completed in the late 1920s, it was designed by the Atlanta firm of Hentz, Reid & Adler.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the villa is an excellent example of the American period house, designed under the principles of creative eclecticism. Its facade combines a one-story Italian Baroque church front with Renaissance villa porticos, and its plan centers on a domed rotunda. It is described as the best example of Italian Baroque Revival among comparable Georgia houses.","narrative":"Villa Albicini is a small stucco and stone residence on Tucker Road in Macon, facing the Wesleyan College campus. Plans for the house were dated August 1922, and it was built in the late 1920s for Daniel Churchill Horgan, a florist with a nationwide reputation. The Atlanta firm Hentz, Reid & Adler designed it, with Philip Shutze given special credit; a photograph of a chapel at Villa Cuzzano near Verona, Italy, served as the model. The front combines a one-story Italian Baroque church facade, with a scroll pediment and cast stone ornament, with two wings of open porticos like those of Renaissance villas. A curved double entrance stairway and a low basement reflect American adaptation. Inside, a domed, skylighted circular hall gives access to the surrounding rooms. The house was listed as a fine small-scale period house, and as the best local example of Italian Baroque Revival. Later changes were modest, including a third bedroom, new mantels, and garden walls and gates.","period_of_significance":"late 1920's","architect_builder":"Hentz, Reid & Adler (Atlanta); Philip Shutze credited with the design; plans probably begun by Neel Reid","architectural_style":"Italian Baroque Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition marked excellent; in use as a private residence, largely unaltered from its original design.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.419742-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/74000661.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74000661/b28023f694-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74000661/b28023f694-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Blastoids","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Villa_Albicini.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Blastoids</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Villa_Albicini.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207107","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Albicini","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16902701"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/bibb-county/villa-albicini-74000661/"}
