This house, former home of Congressman Henry Gray Turner, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 1980 and was restored in 2007. The photographs posted of the restoration have been pulled from the Henry Gray Turner House Facebook Page (please check it out using the link below for more photos of the house). Based on a small bit of research, the house has been used as both a private residence and a wedding venue. There is a blog about the restoration on Blogspot, named Nocturne Diary (link below), for anyone wishing to learn more.
Here is a blurb from the history page of the restoration website:
"The Henry Gray Turner House, “Nocturne”, was constructed in 1892 on 150 acres of land in Quitman Georgia. The house is sited at the end of a quarter-mile driveway amid a grove of hundred year old live oaks, hickory and magnolia trees. Nocturne was built for Mr. Turner from plans produced by the architectural firm Munn and Company of New York City. The original blueprints, hand drawn on vellum, were discovered in the attic, and hang in the house. The construction contractor was T.J. Darling of Waycross, GA."
