1842 Inn
Judge John Jones Gresham, a Macon attorney, jurist, and two-time mayor, raised the Greek Revival mansion on College Street in 1842 as a forever home for his family, living there until his death in 1900. After the Adams family added the grand columned porch and Victorian flourishes, the house eventually became a celebrated boutique inn, now on the National Register of Historic Places. Guests and staff have long reported a figure resembling Gresham himself drifting through the Dogwood Room, while a tall, thin blonde woman is glimpsed moving from room to room as though still tending the house. A little girl has been seen in other guest rooms, and the inn is known for unexplained phone calls placed from empty rooms and strangely vivid dreams that unsettle sleepers. Paranormal teams have brought equipment hoping to coax the inn's elusive residents into answering.
