It also ties the building to the University of Illinois campus growth of the 1920s, when Georgian Revival was the style of choice, and to Little, a long-serving state legislator and Majority Floor Leader.","narrative":"Built in 1925 at 1005 South Sixth Street in Champaign, this three-story apartment building sits amid University of Illinois buildings and uses. It is faced in red brick in common bond, with concrete trim and a poured concrete foundation. The narrow five-bay front contrasts with very long side walls, making efficient use of a single residential lot. A slightly projecting central pavilion holds a classical door surround, a balconet and a frieze reading \"GEORGIAN.\" Inside, the building has twenty-eight one-bedroom apartments on double-loaded corridors, oak woodwork with the original pickled finish, terrazzo entry floors and early brass mailboxes. Roger Franklin Little, who developed the property, served seven terms in the Illinois General Assembly and was Majority Floor Leader. The building went up while the university was in a major growth campaign and Georgian Revival was the favored style on campus. Its high integrity, inside and out, underlies its recognition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a multiple-dwelling apartment building with twenty-eight apartments, twenty-seven of them original to the building.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.574887-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/92/8917/28891792/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/05001260.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001260/cd7b429690-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001260/cd7b429690-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Georgian_Apts_Champaign_IL.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Georgian_Apts_Champaign_IL.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28891792","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Georgian_(Champaign,_Illinois)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20709835"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/champaign-county/georgian-the-05001260/"}
