National Register of Historic Places - Albert E. Thornton House

Statement of Significance: A Superb Example of The Regency Revival Style in Atlanta. The Apso dial Entrance and Use of The Elliptical Window and the "Eye-Lid" Dormer and Stucco Building Material Make This Composition A Convincing Regency Design That Would Be As Comfortable In London As It Is On West Paces Ferry Rd. The Landscaping Adds Tremendously to The Success of This Shutze Masterpiece. The Garden Facade Is, Perhaps, The Most Pleasing Side of The House. The Portico and Double Stair Lead to A Semi-Circular Terrace with Steps Leading to A Pleasant Stretch of Lawn Bordered by A Natural Wooded Area. Albert E. Thornton. Jr. built this house, one of the last estates along the road. He was a grandson of Gen. Alfred Austell, one of Atlanta's pioneers. He was a prominent attorney and a director of many firms. His brother, Alfred Austell Thornton had owned land very early along the road and had plans to build in 1911 but met an early death in 1913.
