It was built about 1825 in Hartford and moved to its present site about 1836.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house represents the formative years of Hartford and Hawkinsville, the two county seats of Pulaski County. It is thought to be the oldest house in Hawkinsville, having been moved there at the town's creation. It is also described as a fine example of Greek Revival architecture.","narrative":"Taylor Hall is a two-story frame house on Kibbe Street in Hawkinsville, Georgia, combining a plantation plain form with Greek Revival details such as a two-story portico on Tuscan columns. Dr. Robert Newsome Taylor, a Virginia-born physician, built it about 1825 in the town of Hartford, then the Pulaski County seat. According to tradition, when Hawkinsville became the county seat in 1836, the house was dismantled, its pieces numbered, ferried across the Ocmulgee River on barges and re-erected on seven acres Taylor had bought in 1832. It is thought to be the oldest house in Hawkinsville. Later owners included the Grace family and the Lanier family, and the house deteriorated before Mildred Taylor Stevens, Dr. Taylor's granddaughter, bought it in 1943 and restored it. Its history illustrates the pioneer days of Pulaski County and the early growth of both towns. The house has served as a residence throughout its existence, and about four acres are included in the nominated property.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Unknown (built by Dr. Robert Newsome Taylor, per the narrative)","architectural_style":"Plantation plain style with Greek Revival features","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence in good condition; restored and altered in the 20th century.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.161992-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/78001000.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78001000/42e0a4935b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78001000/42e0a4935b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Paylesscollective","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Taylor_Hall_Hawkinsville_GA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Paylesscollective</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Taylor_Hall_Hawkinsville_GA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209293","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Hall_(Hawkinsville,_Georgia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7689983"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/pulaski-county/taylor-hall-78001000/"}
