Neel Reid Homes

Macon, Georgia

Part II

On October 28, 2011 I commenced my Neel Reid Homes of Macon, Georgia project.  I will feature several of his Homes in each Blog Post.  I hope to be able to make a Neel Reid Post at least once a week.

Today I will focus on two  homes on Macon's College Street as well as one home on Bond Street.

This home is at 505 College Street.  It was commission 145 and constructed for T.D. Tinsley.  It was originally constructed as a cottage in 1854.  Neel Reid added the second story in 1911.  Note the signature fence and gate with is the landmark in the 500 block of College Street.

 A close up view of 505 College Street.  Several years ago I was fortunate in being a guest for an open house at this address.  The front garden of this home is very well done; however the Gardens in the Back are terrific.  The Neel Reid additions are known as Commission # 145.

This house was Commission # 82 and was constructed in 1910 for W. P. Coleman.  It is located at 596 College Street.  The home was situated on the lot so that the front door would look directly down Tinsley Lane.  This Federal style home features a ionic-columned portico with side lights at the entry. 

This home faces North at 1116 Bond Street and is regarded as being constructed in 1910.   It was Commission # 83 for Mrs. Everett Coleman.  It features a classic cottage-style garden.
