Wilson Strickland and his sons built it as a bunkhouse for four of his sons.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a locally significant, good example of a mid-nineteenth-century four-room central-hall country house in Georgia. It is also tied to the pioneer Strickland family. The four sons who lived there joined Company K, 56th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, in the Civil War.","narrative":"Built around 1858 near the former town of Liberty Hill in Troup County, Georgia, this one-story frame house follows the four-room, central-hall plan common in mid-nineteenth-century rural Georgia. It measures roughly 30 by 36 feet and has a full attic, a central entrance, and exterior end chimneys at both gables. The interior is sheathed in horizontal paneling, with a reverse stair rising to the attic. Wilson Strickland and his sons built it as a bunkhouse for four older, unmarried sons, down the road from the family's columned main house. The four brothers volunteered for Company K, 56th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, in the Civil War. Two died in the conflict, and the other two surrendered in North Carolina in April 1865. Willis Washington Strickland later returned to live in the house. The nominated 23 acres include a tenant house, a buggy house foundation, a grove of large oak and hickory trees, and a nearby family cemetery. Porches have been lost, and restoration was under way when the property was nominated.","period_of_significance":"1858","architect_builder":"Wilson Strickland and Sons","architectural_style":"Typical four room central hall country residence, mid-nineteenth century (rural vernacular)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as long neglected and in fair condition, with the owners in the process of restoring the house and grounds.
