It has since been used as a funeral home.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an exceptionally fine example of a large Greek Revival home in Georgia's piedmont region, noting the quality of its detailing, its proportions and its commanding hilltop location. It is also tied to the Bailey family, who were prominent in Griffin's legislative and industrial history. No builder or designer has been documented.","narrative":"Built between 1859 and 1862 on a rise north of Griffin, Georgia, this Greek Revival house was commissioned by David Jackson Bailey, a lawyer who served in the state legislature. The two-story hipped-roof main block has a four-columned pedimented portico, one-story wings with fluted Doric columns, panelled corner pilasters and a balcony on carved wooden brackets above the entrance. Inside, a curving main stair and a smaller second stair depart from the usual central-hall plan. Construction was reportedly delayed when millwork shipped from Philadelphia was confiscated during the Union blockade. Bailey's descendants held the house until 1971, though it was at times rented or left empty after 1898. In the early 1940s it became a funeral home, and a partition was removed to create a chapel, yet most interior detail survives, as do the original outbuildings. The quality of its design, with no known designer, underlies its recognition.","period_of_significance":"c1859-1862","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition and occupied; the exterior is essentially original and the interior was altered for use as a funeral home and chapel.
