Built in 1822, this stunning residence was once called Rose Hill because the family rose garden occupied the high point next door. The house was enlarged around 1840 and the style changed from Federal to Greek Revival. Several years later the exterior was embellished with Italianate details. Seven generations of continuous ownership by the same family resulted in the preservation of this significant historic resource, its furniture and family correspondence. the property. In 2016, the Stoked-McHenry House won the Georgia Trust Preservation Award for Excellence in Stewardship. Image: Van Jones Martin, from Madison: A Classic Southern Town.
