It also contains a varied, intact group of Tudor, Colonial and Classical Revival houses. It shows the work of Atlanta architects R. Kennon Perry and David S. Cuttino Jr. and the local builder R. D. Cole Company.","narrative":"Platinum Point is a residential neighborhood strung along Jackson Street (U.S. 29) on the northern edge of Newnan, Georgia. Its 19 contributing houses date from 1895 to the early 1940s, with most of the larger homes built in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. The earliest is the 1895 Queen Anne style Parker-Taylor House. Most others are Tudor, Colonial or Classical Revival designs set on large, informally landscaped lots with curving drives and porte-cocheres. The district was listed for two reasons. It is an early automobile suburb where wealthy Newnan residents built outside town, where large lots were available, and the car garages, driveways and park-like settings reflect that. It also holds a varied, well-preserved collection of revival-style architecture, including work by Atlanta architects R. Kennon Perry and David S. Cuttino Jr. and by the local builder R. D. Cole Company. The name reflects the prominent local citizens who built their homes here.","period_of_significance":"1895-1941","architect_builder":"R. Kennon Perry (architect); David S.
