Hollywood Plantation, Colonial Revival mansion in Thomasville, United States.
Hollywood Plantation is a 38-acre property with four contributing buildings, including its main house, a Colonial Revival-style brick mansion built in 1928. The mansion has a green slate roof, and its central two-story portion features a pedimented portico with four Ionic columns. Red brick laid in Flemish bond is trimmed with white marble from the Georgia Marble Company of Tate, Georgia. The other contributing buildings are a manager/jockey's house (c.1890) and a board-and-batten caretaker's cottage (c.1920).
The mansion was built in 1928 for Henry Devereux following a fire that destroyed an earlier structure on the site. It earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
Henry K. Devereux, retired from industry in 1911, was a harness horse fancier who bred and trained harness racing horses at Pastime Stables near the property. The 1928 mansion he built replaced an earlier house that burned on January 20, 1928, and was used for entertainment and recreation.
The property requires advance planning as visiting is by appointment only, so contact local information sources ahead of time. The mansion sits in a rural area outside Thomasville, which means having a vehicle is necessary to reach it.
