The Carltonia Home
Description
One of Newnan's most famous homes is Carltonia, the former residence of the late Mr. and Mrs. T.S. Parrott and their family. The mansion on Jackson Street was built in the late 1920s. Mrs. Parrott was the former Nannie Elizabeth Carlton of Richmond, Virginia, and the home was named for her family. These exterior and interior views are provided by daughter Miss Sarah Parrott, who grew up in the home. The top scene is a rear view of the home in the big snow in Newnan sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s. It was decorated by Barton, Price and Wilson, Inc., an interior design firm from New York City. The architect was R. Kennon Perry of Atlanta, who also design several other local structures, among them the Art Deco Newnan Municipal Building constructed in 1939.
