The surviving tenant houses, barns and terraced field document cotton and later corn farming, including tenant and sharecropper use, in the early to mid-20th century. The number of surviving agricultural buildings is described as relatively high for a Georgia farm.","narrative":"Oak Grove Plantation is a rural farm complex near Newnan in Coweta County, Georgia, built around a two-story wood-frame house from about 1842 to 1847. The house follows the Georgian plan, two rooms deep with a central hall, and shows Greek Revival touches such as modillions, fluted door surrounds with corner blocks, and classically inspired mantels. Inside, original plaster walls, wainscoting, grained doors and wide-board floors survive. The grounds hold two tenant house complexes from about 1920, four barns, two well houses, a terraced field and the Arnold family cemetery, whose graves date from 1848 to 1884. The Arnold family owned the land from 1842 until 1980. The estate grew cotton before the Civil War, with 37 enslaved people recorded in 1850, and later grew corn with tenant farmers. The property was listed for its architecture and for the agricultural buildings and landscape that remain from its farming history.","period_of_significance":"c.1842 - 1951","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian house type with vernacular Greek Revival elements (classified as OTHER: Georgian House)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The main house and cemetery are still in current use; the house serves as a single dwelling.
