T. Stovall, with a wooden addition made in the 1920s.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a fine example of residential Neo-classical architecture in southwest Georgia, with a monumental two-story portico and fine craftsmanship. It is also tied to prominent local leaders, including U.S. Senator Walter F. George, and its central location on Vienna's main street makes it a community landmark.","narrative":"Built around 1907 on Union Street in Vienna, Georgia, this large frame house is a notable example of Neo-classical residential design in the southwest part of the state. Its L-shaped plan, clapboard walls, massive two-story portico with four Ionic columns, block modillions and decorative balcony woodwork set it apart from the more modest rural homes of Dooly County. A two-story wooden addition with six columns was added in the 1920s. Inside, a foyer with fluted Ionic columns leads to a central stairway, and wainscotting and wooden mantles appear throughout. Dr. C. T. Stovall, a physician, businessman and mayor of Vienna, built the house after an earlier home on the site burned. In 1914 he sold it to Walter F. George, a judge who later served in the U.S. Senate for decades and chaired its Finance and Foreign Relations committees. Lawyer L. L. Woodward bought it in 1924. The house is valued for its design and its links to local leaders.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1907","architect_builder":"Unknown (built by Dr. C. T.
