The style is rare in the state, with under one percent of surveyed single-family houses designed in it. Character-defining features include the steep side-gable roof, front dormers with pointed-arch tracery windows, heavy hood molds, and a central entrance with transom and sidelights.","narrative":"Built between 1871 and 1874 on the northwest side of the rail line in Acworth, Georgia, this one-and-a-half story frame cottage was the home of Tarleton Moore, a Virginia-born land speculator and farmer who held land in Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb and Fulton counties and helped finance the Moore and Cowan cotton and gristmill. The house has a steeply pitched side-gable roof, exterior chimneys at each end, two front-gable dormers with pointed-arch tracery windows, and a porch with scrollwork. Inside, the historic floorplan survives along with many original floors, moldings and plaster walls. Later changes include a circa 1920 kitchen addition and a 1992 garage and rear additions. The cottage was listed for architecture because Gothic Revival houses are uncommon in Georgia, making up less than one percent of the 43,371 single-family houses in the state survey. Moore's daughter Annie lived there until 1936, and the house was sold in 1941 and remains a private residence.","period_of_significance":"1871","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling (historic and current function: domestic, single dwelling); a nonhistoric shed is also 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 02:55:43.333826-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/06000453.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000453/7b577a5df8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000453/7b577a5df8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tarleton_Moore_House,_Acworth_GA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tarleton_Moore_House,_Acworth_GA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207597","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134288293"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/cobb-county/moore-tarleton-house-06000453/"}
