Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Birdwood is a Шаблон:Convert estate in Thomasville, Georgia. Its main building is a two-story mansion built in 1931–1932 in then-popular Georgian Revival style at the center of what was a 48-acre property.[1]

The mansion is basically U-shaped in plan, with a two-story colonnade connecting across the ends.[1]

It was built for William Cameron Forbes (1870-1959) of Boston, Massachusetts, "as a seasonal residence and a place to practice and play polo in the winter." Forbes was a grandson of Ralph Waldo Emerson and served as a diplomat for the United States, including serving on the Philippine Commission and as governor general in the Philippines for presidents T.R. Roosevelt and Taft.[1]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[2] It is now part of Thomas University, now named Forbes Hall.
