Designed by Munn and Company of New York and completed in 1892 near Quitman, "Nocturne" was home to Henry Gray Turner, a distinguished Georgia statesman who served in both the State House and U.S.

Congress before his appointment to the Georgia Supreme Court in 1903. Though Turner passed away just a year later, his legacy lives on in this remarkable home. After decades in the Turner family and years of vacancy, Nocturne was lovingly restored—first in the 1970s, and more recently through a meticulous, multi-year effort by its current owners. c.1970 image courtesy Nocturne FB page, current photo by Georgia Photography Fanatic #transformationtuesday #HistoricHomes #thenandnow #QuitmanGA #PreservationMatters #SouthernHistory
