It is also described as a fine example of nineteenth-century Greek Revival architecture, with a central-hall plan and a two-story columned porch. Much of the original interior woodwork survives.","narrative":"Liberty Hill is a two-story white frame plantation house on Liberty Hill Road near LaGrange in Troup County, Georgia, about three quarters of a mile west of the Chattahoochee River. John T. Boykin, an early Troup County settler, built it around 1836 to the early 1840s, largely with slave labor, on land that grew to over 2,000 acres by 1862. The Greek Revival house has four fluted Doric columns across a two-story porch, a cantilevered balcony with lattice railing, and a long central hall with rooms on each side that caught breezes from the river. Inside, the pine stairway, wainscoting, mantels and floors are original. The property was listed as a surviving example of an ante-bellum cotton plantation home. After the Civil War Boykin's property value fell sharply and land was sold off, yet the house remained intact and has continued as a private residence, with restoration work carried out in the 1920s.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (c.1836)","architect_builder":"John T.
