Few alterations were made after the antebellum expansion, and its condition is excellent. Its growth from 1808 to 1841 is well documented, and it was the birthplace of Supreme Court Justice John Archibald Campbell.","narrative":"Two Federal period houses, built in the same style at different times, were joined into a single mansion at 208 Liberty Street in Washington, Georgia. The eastern section began around 1808 as a small two-story plantation plain house, and a matching western half followed, probably by 1813. Around 1841, during the ownership of merchant Aaron A. Cleveland, a Greek Doric peristyle colonnade and other Greek Revival details were added, creating a two-story porch with balconies on all four sides. Inside, the rooms remain Federal in style. The house sits directly beside the sidewalk, with open grounds to the south and west. Duncan G. Campbell lived on the lot, and his son John Archibald Campbell, later a U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice, was born in the eastern section in 1811. Later owners included Andrew Green Semmes and Benjamin F. Jordan. Little has changed since before the Civil War, and the house is regarded as a landmark among the area's Greek Revival mansions.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific dates c. 1808, c. 1813, 1841)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival and Federal; described as a Classical Revival style townhouse","criteria":[],"status_note":"Excellent condition, unaltered, on its original site; occupied as 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 02:55:41.207877-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/71000288.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000288/2ec9bbc121-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000288/2ec9bbc121-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"TampAGS, for AGS Media","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Campbell-Jordan_House,_Washington,_Georgia.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">TampAGS, for AGS Media</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:Campbell-Jordan_House,_Washington,_Georgia.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"04001319","name":"Washington Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/washington-historic-district-04001319/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209943","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell-Jordan_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16851214"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/wilkes-county/campbell-jordan-house-71000288/"}
