It is significant for architecture through its intact main house and outbuildings, and for landscape architecture through its formal garden, 1930s rock garden, and landscape of work.","narrative":"Southwest of Villa Rica in Carroll County, this farm complex centers on a Folk Victorian gabled-ell farmhouse built in 1891 by John Worth Williams. Around it stand a smokehouse, horse barn, carriage house, a brick creamery from 1895, a silo, a 1940s feed barn, and a stone-walled flower pit, along with remnants of terraced fields. The family ran a dairy from 1891 into the 1960s, supplying milk and butter to local stores, schools, and Grady Hospital in Atlanta by train. The creamery gained an addition in 1936 for bottling and later a pasteurizer. The grounds include a formal front garden laid out in the 1890s and a rock garden with lily ponds from about 1933. The farm is recognized for its dairy history, its well-preserved architecture, and its landscapes, and it has remained in one family since 1891.","period_of_significance":"1891-1955","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Folk Victorian (gabled-ell cottage)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current function is listed as work in progress; the milking barn and several other outbuildings are no longer standing, and the lily ponds are not currently maintained.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.753407-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/05000193.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207247","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_Family_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85815814"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/carroll-county/williams-family-farm-05000193/"}
