The Brown House in McDonough, Georgia, at 71 Macon Street ( U.S. 23 and Georgia Route 42), was built in 1826. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. [1] It has also been known as the Brown House Hotel. [2]
A small house on the property was built in 1826. The second story and the two-story portico were added as part of a major expansion in 1883, when it was owned by Mrs. Asa Brown. It served as a hotel from some time around 1874 to 1883, until some later date. [2]
It is also a contributing building in the McDonough Historic District. It now houses the Genealogical Society of Henry and Clayton Counties, Inc. and its Family Research Library.
