Carter-Newton House, Greek Revival residence in Madison Historic District, United States.

The Carter-Newton House is a four-over-four Greek Revival house at 530 Academy Street in Madison, Georgia, built around 1840 on the foundation of the Madison Male Academy. It has a wide front porch supported by four large Ionic columns, eight 20-by-20-foot rooms plus three rear rooms, 12.5-foot ceilings downstairs, and nine fireplaces.

The house was built in 1840 by Carter Shepherd and Nancy Whitfield Shepherd on the site of the former Madison Male Academy. That academy had been destroyed by fire, clearing the land for this new residence.

The name "Carter-Newton House" combines two families: the Carters, who built it, and the Newtons, who bought it in 1944 and began using that name. The house appeared as a 1950s Georgia setting in the 2018 horror film St. Agatha and again in the 2021 drama Charming the Hearts of Men.

The property covers approximately one developed acre with the main house and six additional undeveloped acres extending behind it. Visitors should be aware of the full extent to appreciate the complete composition of residence and grounds.

The house was the principal filming location for St. Agatha, a 2018 horror film set in 1950s small-town Georgia, and was used again in 2019 for Charming the Hearts of Men, released in 2021. The Newton family sold it to James Glover in 2021.
