Lapham-Patterson House State Historic Site - 229-226-7664 - Address: 626 N Dawson St, Downtown Thomasville , GA 31792
The Thomas County Historical Society will soon operate the Lapham-Patterson House, opening for tours on Fridays. This south Georgia house museum is a one-of-a-kind building. Built between 1884-85 as a winter cottage for C. W. Lapham, a survivor of the 1871 Great Chicago Fire, the house was well equipped with its own gas lighting system, hot and cold water, indoor plumbing and modern closets. There are no right angles in the cottage, and nothing is centered or symmetrical. The 19 rooms have 45 doors and 53 windows. Due to its outstanding architectural significance, the Lapham-Patterson House was named a National Historic Landmark in 1975.
