Millpond was unusual not only because it bucked the pattern of employing the Classical Revival style for both older antebellum plantation homes and newer hunting retreat homes in Thomasville, but also because of its central feature—a pyramidal atrium with retractable glass panels that enabled a combination of indoor and open-air gardening inside. The low-slung tile-roofed mansion's rooms surrounded this atrium. Despite Millpond's low profile, it contains 38,000 square feet of space, including the atrium. | Creator: J. E.
