It contrasts with the Greek and Classic Revival and Victorian houses nearby and is described as outstanding among the city's great houses. It is also tied to Marshall James Hatcher and his son Judge Felton Hatcher, who was active in public utilities.","narrative":"Built in 1880 on Georgia Avenue in Macon's College Hill area, this red brick house is a Second Empire design from the Victorian era. Marshall James Hatcher, who came from Marshallville, bought the lot from the Central Georgia Bank and built it. He kept a dairy on land later part of Ocmulgee National Monument and invented agricultural equipment. Judge Felton Hatcher later lived here and worked in public utilities, including the Bibb Power Company. The exterior has steep mansard roofs of patterned colored slate, carved stone string bands, stone quoins, a bracketed cornice, a corner pavilion and a wrought-iron porch. Inside, wide sliding doors that slip into wall pockets open the living areas, and the principal rooms have oak parquet floors, each with its own design. Only a rear addition and one added hallway partition are significant changes. The nomination describes it as the only house of its type in Macon and an important contrast to its neighbors.","period_of_significance":"1880","architect_builder":"Marshall James Hatcher (builder)","architectural_style":"French Second Empire (Victorian era)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as slightly altered since construction, with a later rear wooden addition holding the kitchen and porch; a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.326903-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/71000257.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000257/5a5a291ed6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000257/5a5a291ed6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Blastoids","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hatcher-Groover-Schwrtz_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Blastoids</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:Hatcher-Groover-Schwrtz_House.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"74000658","name":"Macon Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/macon-historic-district-74000658/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207027","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatcher-Groover-Schwartz_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16993745"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/bibb-county/hatcher-groover-schwartz-house-71000257/"}
