It is significant in local history because builder-owner John Weeks was an important merchant in Talbotton, in what was then one of Georgia's leading cotton counties.","narrative":"Built around 1845 on Washington Avenue in Talbotton, this one-story Greek Revival house was the home of John Weeks, a merchant who ran a farmers' supply business with his brother William. The wood-frame house has a central hall flanked by four rooms, recessed wings, and an eight-foot porch with twelve fluted Doric-style columns. The front wall is plastered and scored to resemble stonemasonry, and the double front doors have sidelights and a thirty-nine-pane transom. Talbot County was a major cotton producer before the Civil War, and the house is described as the only remaining example of a style once prominent there. Weeks died in 1859, and his widow Sarah lived in the house until 1904. It later passed through relatives and several owners. Shed rooms were removed in 1977 and the roof was replaced in 1978. The house was unoccupied at the time of listing, though its interior trim, floors and mantels remained in good condition.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown (built by owner John Weeks)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as unoccupied and in good condition; the current owner had begun restoration, and the roof was replaced in 1978 and later shed rooms removed in 1977.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.116296-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/79000747.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209560","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeks%E2%80%93Kimbrough_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85814771"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/talbot-county/weeks-kimbrough-house-79000747/"}
