It was built in 1887 as an Italianate villa for Governor Henry D. McDaniel and remodeled in Neoclassical style in 1930.","why_significant":"The nomination argues significance in architecture, commerce and politics. The house reflects the work of architect William Winstead Thomas, who designed the original, and Francis Boddie Warfield, who designed the 1930 remodeling. It is tied to the McDaniel and Tichenor families' role in founding and running the Walton Cotton Mill Company. It was also the retirement home of a former governor, and only one family has ever owned it.","narrative":"Set on a rise in twelve landscaped acres southwest of downtown Monroe, this two-story brick house began in 1887 as an Italianate villa built for Henry D. McDaniel, who retired as Georgia's governor in 1886. Architect William Winstead Thomas of Athens designed it. He had met McDaniel while serving on the board overseeing construction of the new state capitol. In 1930 Nashville architect Francis Boddie Warfield, a family member, remodeled it in Neoclassical style, adding a pedimented portico with paired Corinthian columns. The grounds hold a carriage house, a tenant house, a wellhouse and a pool. The property matters for its architects, for the governor's retirement years of local and state influence, and for the McDaniel and Tichenor families' part in founding the Walton Cotton Mill Company in 1900. The governor's library remains in the house, and one family has owned the property throughout its history.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900- (specific dates 1887; 1930)","architect_builder":"William Winstead Thomas; Francis Boddie Warfield","architectural_style":"Originally Italianate Villa (1887); remodeled to Neoclassical (early 1930s)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence.
