Ralph Fetner. It also represents the Red Hills region's game bird hunting plantations, with land management for quail and the equestrian pursuits of its original owners, the Slaters.","narrative":"Mill Creek Plantation is a quail-hunting estate south of Thomasville, Georgia, whose nominated core covers 193.8 acres west of U.S. 19. Its centerpiece is a sprawling one-and-two-story brick house built in 1938 and designed by Jacksonville architect S. Ralph Fetner in the English Vernacular, or Tudor Revival, style. Steep gables, half-timbering, six patterned chimneys, casement windows and heart pine paneling define the house. Nearby are a stable, tenant house, garages, a pool and an entry gate, most dating to 1938. Colonel Percival Slater and Lillian Vose Slater, both of Milwaukee, assembled the land in 1937 and built the estate. The property matters for its architecture and for its role in the Red Hills region's plantation culture. Owners managed woodlands with controlled burns to support quail and took part in local horse shows, which the stable reflects. The period of significance runs from 1938 to 1946. Nine resources contribute and seven later ones do not.","period_of_significance":"1938-1946","architect_builder":"Fetner, S.
