It is also tied to prominent Macon figures who owned it, including lawyers, a mayor, a legislator and a bank president.","narrative":"Overlooking one of the landscaped median parks on Mulberry Street in Macon, this two-story wood frame house was built in the 1830s as a provincial version of Greek Revival design. A full-width portico with square two-story wooden columns dominates the front, and a shallow overdoor balcony carries a delicate wrought iron balustrade. Inside, a wide center hall runs front to back, with a simple stair and a black and caramel veined Italian marble chimney piece surviving in the left front parlor. William Solomon, one of three brothers who came to Macon in 1836, built the house in 1838. Later owners included lawyer Samuel R. Blake, Colonel Zephariah Conner, and James Alexander Nisbet, a lawyer, Macon mayor and legislator. John C. Curd, a bank president, bought it in 1879, and his family kept it longest. The house is valued for its restrained design and for its place on one of Macon's most distinctive streets.","period_of_significance":"c. 1830's","architect_builder":"William Solomon (builder, per the form)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival (provincial adaptation)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as good; exterior largely unchanged.
