It contains mostly 19th-century houses, a college, a courthouse, law offices, a railroad depot and a cemetery, concentrated along College and Lumpkin Streets.","why_significant":"The district is argued to hold outstanding 19th-century architecture, from plain-style antebellum houses to Greek Revival and Victorian Gothic buildings, reflecting Cuthbert's growth from a frontier settlement to a town of middle-class merchants. It was also regarded as an educational center of Georgia in the later 19th century because of its colleges and academy.","narrative":"Cuthbert's historic district covers roughly 315 acres of the downtown area in Randolph County, Georgia, with most of its 19th-century buildings along College and Lumpkin Streets. Early houses such as the Key House of 1842 sit within a few blocks of the town square, while Greek Revival cottages and two-story mansions cluster near the former village of Villa Nova. Victorian Gothic houses, including the Sam Sawyer House and the Pulaski-Barnes House of 1880, line the other end of College Street. Other landmarks include Andrew College's Old Main, the 1885 courthouse, 1850s law offices built in Greek Revival temple form, an 1860 limestone railroad depot and Greenwood Cemetery. The district was listed because it shows how Cuthbert grew from a frontier settlement founded around 1830 into a market town of merchants and a center of education, with female colleges and a male academy operating by the 1850s.","period_of_significance":"19th Century","architect_builder":"W.H.
