Thornhill, also known as the Hade-Lewis House, is a plantation in Talladega County, Alabama, built beginning in 1835 by planter John Hardie. The property includes the Classical Revival house, a chapel, the servants' quarters, the plantation office, a barn, a horse racetrack and the family cemetery, along with the approach road. The main house is an I-house in plan, one room deep in front, two stories, with a rear ell. The facade is five bays wide and fronted by a central portico. The interior has a central hall plan, flanked by a parlor, a dining room and a library in the ell. A kitchen occupies the farther reaches of the ell.

Thornhill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1998.
