The Tom Chick House, in Monroe, Georgia, was built in 1907. Also known as the Chick-Gower-Braswell House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is a two-story frame house with brick chimneys. It has a one-story porch wrapping around its west west side. It was deemed notable as "a good example of early twentieth century architecture built for a middle class family that was moving into the city. Although the location is considered "in the country", it was close enough to Monroe for the children to take advantage of the city schools. The house was built by local contractors, probably using basic patterns and plans. In its massing, details, and style, it is typical of the architecture of the early 1900s. It is also significant as one of only a few examples in Monroe of a "farmhouse" in the city. Most of the city's development came out from the center of town, and few examples remain of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century farm development. 1102 East Church Street is one such house still in the city, and it is important as a rare example of this house type."

McDaniel-Tichenor House

The McDaniel-Tichenor House, located in Monroe, Georgia, United States was built in 1887 for retiring Governor Henry McDaniel. Originally designed by Athens, Georgia architect William Winstead Thomas (1848-1904) in the then-popular Victorian Italianate Villa style, the house was extensively remodeled in the 1930s by Nashville architect, and son-in-law of Edgar and Gipsy Tichenor, Francis Boddie Warfield. Remade in the Neoclassical style popular with prominent southerners at the time, the Tichenors also added modern indoor plumbing, electricity and heating systems. Though the interior was reconfigured as well, much of the original woodwork, doors and inlaid marbleized mantels are original. The eclectically furnished interior features pieces dating from the late 18th century up until the mid-20th. Many original pieces, such as the Governor's carved mahogany bed, were rescued from storage in the servants house and restored by Emily Tichenor. The McDaniel-Tichenor House remained occupied by the same family until just under a decade ago. The 1930 renovation, which changed the house from its original 1887 Italianate style to Neo-Classical style, was designed by Francis Boddie Warfield (1891-1975), who was a well-known Nashville architect and was the grandson-in-law of Governor McDaniel and was son-in-law of the incoming Tichenors. The McDaniel-Tichenor House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The home presently serves as a special events and educational facility.
