It was built in the late 1820s, most likely for David Langston.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is the only old brick house in Oglethorpe County and one of only three surviving brick houses from before 1830 in the county and its surrounding counties. Its parapeted gable ends and parapets between the chimneys are a rare and archaic feature for the 19th century. Its interior is described as very late Federal in character.","narrative":"Set back about 300 feet from U.S. 78 near Arnoldsville, this two-story brick house was built in the late 1820s and is the only old brick house in Oglethorpe County. It has four rooms on each floor around a broad central hall, with 15-inch exterior walls and a gable roof bounded by parapets at each end and between the chimneys. The brick is laid in Flemish bond on the facade and American bond elsewhere. A mid-19th-century two-story portico shields the front doors. Inside, the mantels are simple Federal designs, and the parlor mantel has three sunbursts. David Langston bought land here in 1816, and his 1829 will refers to the east rooms of the house. Later owners included Urania Langston Smythe, Joseph Dillard and Amaziah Daniel. The house is valued as one of only three surviving brick houses from before 1830 in the surrounding area, and for its unusual parapeted gables. A frame smokehouse and a log barn also remain.","period_of_significance":"Late 1820's","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Federal interior with Greek Revival-style front portico and archaic parapeted gable ends","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as altered, privately owned and occupied as a private residence.
