Regarding Villa Albicini. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:

The Villa Albicini, located across from the Wesleyan College campus, was designed and built in the late 1920's by the Atlanta architectural firm of Hentz, Reid and Adler. …

… Mr. Daniel Churchill Horgan, for whom the Horgan House (or Villa Albicini as it is presently called) was built, owned and operated a florist shop in Macon and gained a nation-wide reputation as a florist.
