Goodrich for Artemus Gould, with an octagonal gatehouse.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a rare, fine example of mid-nineteenth-century Italianate architecture in Georgia, where Greek Revival and Plantation Plain traditions dominated. It is also tied to Artemus Gould, an Augusta banker and investor, to the Reverend Edmund Weede, and to Broad Oaks School. The house and property established the geographical center point for the 1861 incorporation of Summerville.","narrative":"Built in 1860-61 by William H. Goodrich for Augusta capitalist Artemus Gould, this two-story frame house at Milledge Road and Walton Way is an unusual Italianate design for Georgia. It has a square plan, cubical massing, deep bracketed eaves, a hipped roof with an octagonal cupola, a Corinthian-columned entry portico and a two-story rear porch adapted to the Southern climate. A small octagonal gatehouse and a brick wall survive on the grounds. Gould was a major stockholder and officer in several Augusta banks, an early textile investor, and manager of the Augusta Orphan Asylum's finances. After his death the house was occupied by the Reverend Edmund Weede, later Bishop of Florida. From the 1920s to the 1940s it housed Broad Oaks School, then served as a boardinghouse before restoration in the late 1960s. It was divided into three condominiums, with the original four-room central-hall plan still evident. The house marks the start of permanent settlement on \"The Hill.\"","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William H.
