Henry Henderson built the earlier rear ell and Phillip Orr added the main block.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding rural Georgia example of Early Classical Revival architecture and an excellent intact central-hall I-house. It is also one of very few Georgia houses surviving from before 1832. It is an early work of master builder Collin Rogers, whose signature Ionic capitals and sheaves-of-wheat balcony railing appear here.","narrative":"Near Stallings Crossroads in rural west Georgia, close to the Heard County line, stands a two-story, five-bay weatherboard house built in two stages. Henry Henderson built a one-story hall-parlor house around 1829, which now serves as the rear ell. In 1832 planter Phillip Orr bought the property and had a large Early Classical Revival I-house added, attributed to local master builder Collin Rogers. The front features a two-story portico with colossal Ionic columns, a sunburst in the pediment, Palladian-arched doorways with fanlights, and a balcony railing in a sheaves-of-wheat pattern. Inside, a central hall separates two parlors downstairs and two bedrooms above, with classical mantels. The house was listed for architecture. It is described as an outstanding rural example of its style and an intact I-house, and as one of few Georgia houses to survive from before 1832. It is the earliest known work attributed to Rogers. It remains a private home, while most of its farm outbuildings have disappeared.","period_of_significance":"c.1829-1832","architect_builder":"Collin Rogers (architect/builder)","architectural_style":"Early Republic: Early Classical Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; few alterations since 1832, though most outbuildings are gone and former fields have reverted to forest.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.41102-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/00000562.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000562/5b1ec4b6c9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000562/5b1ec4b6c9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Robert Coakley","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Henderson-Orr_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Coakley</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Henderson-Orr_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207667","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134289372"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/coweta-county/henderson-orr-house-00000562/"}
