It also represents the first wave of frontier settlement in Talbot County, showing that wealthy settlers could build substantial two-story houses rather than only log cabins or dogtrot houses.","narrative":"Built in 1833 in rural northwest Talbot County, Georgia, this two-story frame house was the home of Martin and Lucretia Stamper, who moved from Upson County as early settlers. Martin Stamper had been Upson County's first sheriff and a state legislator, and by 1840 he owned 40 slaves and over 708 acres. The house is a double-pen I-house with Early Classical Revival details: a full-height portico with a triangular pediment, fluted Ionic pilasters, a dentiled cornice and painted elliptical fanlights over two central doors on each floor. Inside, heart pine walls, ceilings and floors, wainscoting, reeded mantels and handmade brick hearths survive. The property was listed for its architecture and for its link to early settlement on Georgia's western frontier. Its scale and finish show that some first-generation frontier houses were large and refined. The Stampers sold it in 1850, and it remains a private residence on about four acres.","period_of_significance":"1833","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Early Classical Revival; Other: I-House","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; it underwent a certified rehabilitation completed by 2006 that removed vinyl siding, repaired the weatherboard and replaced the roof.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.551448-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/07000939.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000939/f3f5301ca7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000939/f3f5301ca7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Rivers Langley; SaveRivers","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Martin_and_Lucretia_Stamper_House;_Shiloh,_GA.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Rivers Langley; SaveRivers</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:Martin_and_Lucretia_Stamper_House;_Shiloh,_GA.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209556","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134457900"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/talbot-county/stamper-martin-and-lucretia-house-07000939/"}
