National Register of Historic Places - George & Emily Winship Jr. House

Statement of Significance: The George Winship, Jr., House is significant in architecture as an excellent example of a high style Tudor Revival-style house. It is significant as a work of the well-known Atlanta firm of Burge and Stevens, a firm whose successor firm is still in business as Stevens and Wilkinson. The house reflects the use of a variety of brick, limestone, and wood motifs to create a house harking back to the 16th century. On the interior, the house retains its original high ceilings, massive stair hall with mahogany details and paneling, built-in bookcases in the living room, original fireplaces, and hardwood floors. The house is significant in social history for the role of the owner/occupant of the house, George Winship, Jr. (1884-1956), who was an Atlanta civic and business leader, president of Fulton Supply Co., a former bank president, and an influential board member on many corporate and social boards. For nearly 30 years was the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Agnes Scott College, a private woman's college in Decatur, near Atlanta. Mr. Winship spent the peak of his business career, the last thirty years of his life, in this house.
