The McDonald-McMichael House was among the last to be built in the Platinum Point neighborhood, just north of downtown Newnan on US 29. Characterized by large lots with set-back houses, Platinum Point was one of the earliest residential expansions of Newnan, and represented several early-20th-century revival styles popular throughout the country at the time. This Colonial Revival example, completed in 1941, looks like something you’d see in Beverly Hills on a tour of star’s homes during Hollywood’s Golden Era.
