It is also significant for its association with the settlement of west-central Georgia's early 19th-century frontier and with the plantation and later tenant-farm history of the site, including African-American heritage.","narrative":"Near Roberta in Crawford County, Georgia, this two-story weatherboarded house sits on a wooded 25-acre tract. Built about 1827 by an unknown builder, it combines a Georgian-type central-hall plan with Early Classical Revival features, including a two-story pedimented portico, nine-over-nine windows and Federal-style interior detailing. Its framing and plan, notably an unusual lateral second-floor hall, suggest it may have been built in two stages, and the form discusses several possible builders among the Williams family. The land was opened to settlement by the 1821 land lottery. A probable slave house, later a tenant house, and a family cemetery also survive. The house was listed as an uncommon example of a two-story Georgian-type house in rural Georgia, and for its link to frontier settlement. Its significance period runs from about 1827 to 1903, covering plantation and tenant-farm use under the Williams, Moore and Hillsman families.","period_of_significance":"c.1827 - 1903","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Early Republic: Early Classical Revival; Other: Georgian-type","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the attached kitchen was joined to the main house in the early 20th century and a non-historic garage stands on the property.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.499843-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/01000645.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207707","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams-Moore-Hillsman_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85815811"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/crawford-county/williams-moore-hillsman-house-01000645/"}
