Built in 1896 by George Burch Hinman for his growing family, Stonehurst belonged to the same family for over 100 years and so retains much of the original layout, features and hardware. A contractor and entrepreneur during the late 19th century, Hinman built textile mills throughout the Southeast and owned cotton gin and furniture factories in Atlanta. Purchased from the family estate after the youngest daughter Ruth's death at Stonehurst in 1996, the home was a bed and breakfast for some years. Barb Shadomy purchased Stonehurst in 2007 after discovering it while in England studying interior and garden design. For 17 months Barb and her team of architects and contractors, specialists in historic and eco-friendly systems, renovated and restored the home and its gardens to standards set by the US National Park Service, the GA State Historic Preservation Office, Southface and EarthCraft House. Stonehurst Place is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
