It has been continuously occupied since construction and retains its logs, chimneys, stone piers and wood flooring. It also reflects early settlement of Cobb County by the Power family.","narrative":"Built about 1845 near the Chattahoochee River in Cobb County, Georgia, this one-and-one-half-story log house began as a single room, or single pen, with a side-gable metal roof, fieldstone chimney and fieldstone-pier foundation. A frame room was added to the south in the 1850s and a kitchen to the rear in the 1860s. Inside, the log walls retain traces of whitewash, and the fieldstone fireplaces and wide-plank floors survive. Water still comes from a well dug shortly after the Civil War, and the house has never had indoor plumbing. The house was listed for its architecture and its link to early settlement. A statewide survey found only about 22 historic single-pen log houses from the first half of the 19th century among 43,000 properties, making the type rare. It has also been occupied continuously since it was built, and it retains much of its rustic character despite some twentieth-century changes.","period_of_significance":"c.1845 - 1914","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"OTHER: single pen","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Continuously occupied as a single dwelling since construction and still in use; no historic outbuildings remain after a 1937 fire.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.255151-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/01000720.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100010808","name":"Power-Hyde Farm Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/power-hyde-farm-historic-district-100010808/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207603","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/cobb-county/power-george-a-house-01000720/"}
