It was remodeled for W.P. Stevens, owner of Stevens Pottery, so the house served as an advertisement for fired clay. Local brick makers consider its brick and terra cotta work unequaled in Macon.","narrative":"Located at 904 Orange Terrace in Macon, this house began as a clapboard dwelling of the 1870s to 1890s and was remodeled around 1904 for W.P. Stevens, owner of Stevens Pottery. Macon architect Peter Dennis prepared the plans, though the finished facade departed greatly from his drawings. The exterior is veneered in hard tan brick laid with eighth-inch joints, with terra cotta window ornament, fluted pilasters, Corinthian capitals and round brick columns with red terra cotta bases supporting a two-story porch. Inside are mahogany wainscoting, stamped metal ceilings, parquet floors with a Greek cross border, carved lion-head mantels and a stained glass palladian window at the stair. The nomination presents the house as a showcase of what fired clay could do, reflecting renewed interest in Renaissance-style classicism. A local brick company president said no other structure in Macon equals its use of brick and terra cotta. It now serves as an office and remains in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Peter Dennis, architect (remodeling plans c. 1904)","architectural_style":"Eclectic with classical and Renaissance ornament; Renaissance Revival / classical revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as presently an office building, in excellent condition, and altered; most details are in good condition and the house could be restored to its 1904 appearance with minimal expense.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.679552-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/72000362.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000362/fa1466f325-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000362/fa1466f325-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Timkemp","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dasher-Stevens_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Timkemp</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:Dasher-Stevens_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/93207004","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134086532"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/bibb-county/dasher-stevens-house-72000362/"}
