Paradise Park Historic District is located in Thomasville, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places 1984 with an increase in 2002. It consists of Thomasville's Paradise Park, and properties including 15 contributing buildings and one non-contributing building. The area, subdivided from the S. Alexander Smith estate, was known as "Yankee's Paradise" at the turn of the 20th century, when Northern visitors had winter homes and cottages in the area. Residents included George Forbes, owner of Forbes Furniture and Hardware; W.S. Keefer, president of the Thomasville Cigar Company; Charles Hebard, a Philadelphia-based lumber "magnate"; and Judge Strawbridge, a clothing distributor. The increase added the property at 502 South Broad Street as a contributing building and provided documentation justifying reclassification to "contributing" of a previously non-contributing building. At the time of National Register listing, "East Hansell" was the name of the street along the southeast side of the park. By 2013 the street was termed "South Hansell". The street continues as West Hansell across Broad Street. Contributing buildings include: Hebard House (1891 or 1899-1900), 711 East Hansell, likely constructed by builder William Miller, built as a winter residence for Charles S. Hebard. Separately listed on the National Register in 1970 as "Park Front". It is a two-and-a-half-story mansion with a two-story portico supported by four columns, enclosing a small second-story porch. Its front doorway has a simple architrave divided in three parts. It has dentils detailing its cornice and fascia.
