The Augustine Hansell House, also known as Jeffries House, is a historic home of exceptional quality in Thomasville, Georgia, United States. It was designed by architect John Wind, the leading architect of Thomas County, in Greek Revival style. A 1+1⁄2-story cottage, it was built during 1852–53 for Augustine Hansell. Hansell, who later (1869) was mayor of Thomasville, was a judge of the Superior Court of the Southern Judicial Circuit. He also organized the Thomas Reserves and was commander of a militia company of Thomas County. He was a lieutenant in the Thomas Reserves.The American Civil War did not bring fighting to Thomas County, with the closest battle being the Battle of Natural Bridge in Natural Bridge, Florida, 56 miles (90 km) away from Thomasville.The house is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame cottage, with the main house having four rooms in a center-hall plan. It has an overhanging portico supported by six square columns. It has two small windows centered in the gable front.Its interior is little-altered from the original and has Greek Revival details in its doorways, stairway, and four fireplaces with carved mantels.The addition of wings for a kitchen and a bedroom in 1927 did not detract from the architectural character of the house.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.Up to 1969 the house had remained in the same family and was then owned by a granddaughter of Augustine Hansell. It has been described as one of the "three best cottages" in Thomasville.

Paradise Park Historic District
Paradise Park Historic District

Paradise Park Historic District is located in Thomasville, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places 1984 with an increase in 2002. It consists of Thomasville's Paradise Park, and properties including 15 contributing buildings and one non-contributing building. The area, subdivided from the S. Alexander Smith estate, was known as "Yankee's Paradise" at the turn of the 20th century, when Northern visitors had winter homes and cottages in the area. Residents included George Forbes, owner of Forbes Furniture and Hardware; W.S. Keefer, president of the Thomasville Cigar Company; Charles Hebard, a Philadelphia-based lumber "magnate"; and Judge Strawbridge, a clothing distributor.The increase added the property at 502 South Broad Street as a contributing building and provided documentation justifying reclassification to "contributing" of a previously non-contributing building.At the time of National Register listing, "East Hansell" was the name of the street along the southeast side of the park. By 2013 the street was termed "South Hansell". The street continues as West Hansell across Broad Street.Contributing buildings include: Hebard House (1891 or 1899-1900), 711 East Hansell, likely constructed by builder William Miller,: 3  built as a winter residence for Charles S. Hebard. Separately listed on the National Register in 1970 as "Park Front". It is a two-and-a-half-story mansion with a two-story portico supported by four columns, enclosing a small second-story porch. Its front doorway has a simple architrave divided in three parts. It has dentils detailing its cornice and fascia. Keefer House, 817 South Hansell Street, a large Victorian Eclectic house, bordered by a white picket fence. Built in 1893.

One-story ranch house with "applied Greek Revival elements", built for Dr. and Mrs. Albert C. Tuck, designed by Roderick Brantley. It serves as McDonald's area office. Not deemed to be historic in the original historic district, due to its date of construction, but later accepted. The property at 701 South Broad is bordered by an old wrought-iron fence.: 2  Neel House (1907), 502 South Broad Street, a two-story Neoclassical house with full-height portico and one-story porch with classical columns. Converted to apartments in 1930, damaged by fire in 1978, became a bed-and-breakfast inn sometime later. Not included in original historic district due to owner objection.
