Lapham–Patterson House


The Lapham–Patterson House is a historic home site in Thomasville, Georgia. The house, was built between 1884-85 as a winter cottage for businessman C.W. Lapham of Chicago and is an excellent example of high Victorian architecture. It has a number of architectural details, such as fishscale shingles, an intricately designed porch, locally sourced long-leaf pine inlaid floors, and a double-flue chimney. Inside, the house was well-appointed with a gas lighting system, hot and cold running water, indoor plumbing, and modern closets. Its most significant feature is its completely intentional lack of symmetry. None of the windows, doors, or closets are square. The house is a Georgia Historic Site and is also a National Historic Landmark, designated in 1973 for its architecture. It is also a contributing building in the National Register-listed Dawson Street Residential Historic District.
