It also notes the heavy braced frame of hand-hewn sills, posts and beams, a relatively late example of a traditional building method brought from North Carolina. It is listed under Criterion C in architecture.","narrative":"Built around 1872 in rural Pickens County near Tate, Georgia, this two-story I-house was raised by Peter Cagle the younger with help from his carpenter brothers. The Cagle family had come from North Carolina, and they built in the traditional manner of earlier generations, using a hand-hewn post-and-beam frame with massive log sills, a central hall plan, hand-planed interior boards and pegged doors. An unusual second front entrance breaks the typical symmetry of the facade. The house was lived in by Cagle family members for nearly all of its history. In the mid-1980s a descendant restored it, moved it back 75 feet to recover its original setback from the road, added a rear wing and opened it as a bed-and-breakfast inn. It is recognized for architecture as a rare rural I-house in north Georgia, where the type makes up less than two percent of surveyed houses. The period of significance runs from 1872 to 1930.","period_of_significance":"c.1872-1930","architect_builder":"Peter Cagle (the younger); John Cagle; William Cagle; Levi Cagle","architectural_style":"Other: I-house","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a residence until a mid-1980s restoration converted it to a bed-and-breakfast inn; the house was moved back about 75 feet from the road and a rear addition was built.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.795326-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/02000191.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000191/3ece804fba-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000191/3ece804fba-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"MrGeode13","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cagle_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">MrGeode13</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:Cagle_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209247","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagle_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16850279"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/pickens-county/cagle-house-02000191/"}
