It also represents the early development of Dillard as a summer resort after the town's 1906 incorporation and the 1907 completion of the Tallulah Falls Railroad. It has remained in continuous use as a summer home within the family.","narrative":"Built in 1908 north of downtown Dillard, in the northeast Georgia mountains, this one-and-a-half-story frame house was a summer retreat for Asbury Hull Hodgson and his wife, Sallie Paine Hodgson, of Athens. It follows a Georgian plan of four rooms divided by a central hall, a layout common in early twentieth-century vacation houses. A wraparound porch with turned posts overlooks the Dillard Valley. Around 1915 the upstairs dormers were widened to create more sleeping space. Original windows, shutters, an oak mantel, pine floors and gas light fixtures survive, along with a frame servant's quarters now used for storage. The house is significant for its architecture and for its link to Dillard's growth as a summer resort, which followed the town's 1906 incorporation and the 1907 arrival of the Tallulah Falls Railroad. Oral tradition credits Athens carpenter Henry Eugene Thomas as builder. The property has stayed in the family and in seasonal use.","period_of_significance":"1908-1961","architect_builder":"Thomas, Henry Eugene (builder)","architectural_style":"OTHER: Georgian-plan house","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Continuously used as a resort dwelling since 1908; the interior and exterior are described as essentially unchanged since about 1915.
