It is argued to be an excellent and intact example of a Craftsman-style bungalow in Decatur, keeping its exterior and interior materials, floorplan and decorative elements. It is also representative of the Craftsman bungalows built in Oakhurst after the area was annexed into Decatur in 1915.","narrative":"Built around 1915, this one-story Craftsman bungalow at 125 Madison Avenue sits on a steeply sloping lot in Decatur's Oakhurst neighborhood. It has a front-gable roof with wide eaves, exposed rafter tails and knee braces, weatherboard siding, and a deep front porch carried on battered wood posts set on granite piers. Inside, the irregular floorplan has no central hall, and original details survive, including plaster walls, wood floors, exposed ceiling beams, high dining room wainscoting and Craftsman mantels. A rear addition completed during a certified rehabilitation in 2009 is hidden from the street. The house is recognized for its architecture as an excellent, intact local example of the Craftsman bungalow, the most common house type in Oakhurst, which developed largely after its 1915 annexation into Decatur. William and Minnie Pearce, who moved from Marietta, lived there until their deaths in the early 1960s.","period_of_significance":"c.1915","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single-family dwelling; it was certified rehabilitated in 2009, with a new rear addition not visible from the street.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.519072-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/11001055.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11001055/494b599fa1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11001055/494b599fa1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Geoff Bartlett","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_and_Minnie_Pearce_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Geoff Bartlett</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:William_and_Minnie_Pearce_House.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"09000749","name":"Kirkwood Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/kirkwood-historic-district-09000749/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207795","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134296214"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/dekalb-county/pearce-william-and-minnie-house-11001055/"}
