It was built from 1855 to 1859 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, a marked contrast to the more restrained Greek Revival architecture of the antebellum period. The 18,000-square-foot mansion spans four levels and is crowned by a three-story cupola. Commissioned by imaginative owners and constructed by the most skillful workers of the time, its technological amenities were unsurpassed in the mid-19th century: hot and cold running water, central heat, a speaker-tube system, in-house kitchen and an elaborate ventilation system. Only two families lived in Hay House over three generations. Most of the museum’s furnishings date from the Hay family’s occupancy (1926-1962). A few pieces are from the Johnston family](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/2236/193417f7-4daa-44e3-8981-3fae4cfc6e0e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Macon Historic District While visiting Macon Historic District, you might make a stop by sights like Hay House and Tubman Museum.
