Beall and remodeled in 1901 by Samuel Dunlap with a full-height Greek column treatment.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the outstanding homes in Macon's College Hill District and an excellent example of Greek Revival architecture, noting that the ornamented stucco and wood, columns and arched ceilings are outstanding in proportion and detail. It is also tied to Captain Samuel S. Dunlap, a Confederate cavalry commander and civic leader. Reviewers' notes say little of the 1860 house survives, so the 1901 remodeling is the focus.","narrative":"Located at 315 College Street in Macon, this two-story frame house was built in 1860 by Nathan H. Beall and given its present appearance in a 1901 remodeling. Eighteen fluted metal columns with composite capitals wrap the front and both sides, creating a covered walkway, and the frieze is heavily ornamented in stucco. Inside, a monumental stair winds around the entrance hall beneath a two-story arched ceiling, and the main rooms are richly decorated in plaster and wood. Later rear additions were not entirely in harmony with the design, and vandalism had damaged parts of the ground floor. The house is considered one of the outstanding homes of the College Hill District, Macon's prime residential heritage area, and one of the few Twentieth Century Greek Revival houses left there. Captain Samuel S. Dunlap, who commanded the Bibb County Cavalry and later served as a city alderman and railroad director, remodeled it before his death in 1902. Later it served as a boarding house.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Nathan H.
