History of the Building:

75 Jackson Street was built as a family home in 1923 by Alton Wynn Arnall with the Atlanta architect Kenyon Perry. Arnall chose this location to enjoy the lively traffic of the area. Arnall was the son of Mr. Arnall, who co-founded Wahoo Manufacturing Co. with T. G. Farmer, which was later renamed Arnall Mills in 1919. Alton Wynn Arnall began working at the mill when he was just 15 years old.

The house itself housed Alton Wynn Arnall, his daughters Mildred and Myrtle, Myrtle's husband Emil K Mann, and their daughter Susie. Myrtle lived at 75 Jackson Street until her death in 1973. In 1956, Susie Mann married her high school sweetheart, Dr. Jimmy Thomasson, in the family home. After 1973, the house was used as a convalescent home until the building was leased in 1986 to Parks & Mottola Realtors, who gave tours of the building. The current rendition of 75 Jackson Street is an office park, with the original home serving as the anchor for the park. 75 Jackson Street serves as a centerpiece and gateway to the historic downtown district of Newnan.
