Thomas Egleston (1856-1916) was an Atlanta businessman and philanthropist. He was a partner in the insurance firm of Purdue and Egleston, which represented the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. Egleston underwrote major construction projects in Atlanta, invested his profits well and became one of the South's first millionaires. In addition, he served several terms as president of the Southeastern Underwriters Association. After his mother died, Egleston donated money for the establishment of the Henrietta Egleston Hospital for Children, named in her honor.
