It began as a two-room dog-trot log house built between 1841 and 1844 and was later enlarged.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an excellent example of mid-19th century Greek Revival plantation houses in Harrison County, noting refined molded columns and entablatures and an unusual cross-hall plan. It is also tied to two prominent owners: planter G. C. Dial and Reconstruction-era county judge J. B. Williamson.","narrative":"Pine Hill, also called the Dial-Williamson House, sits on a hill among old cedars, magnolias, oaks and hickories about three miles west of Marshall, Texas. It started as a two-room, dog-trot log house built between 1841 and 1844, probably by Henry Morgan, who held a Republic of Texas land grant. Planter G. C. Dial bought it in 1844 and enlarged it into a square, hipped-roof Greek Revival house with an inset front gallery on six square columns, a wide central double door and molded entablatures. Inside, two crossing halls divide the house into four rooms, a variation on the usual central-hall plan. Board-and-batten siding and hand-squared timbers survive. J. B. Williamson, a Republican county judge during Reconstruction, bought the house in 1869, and his descendants lived there into the 1940s. Later owners restored it in the 1960s. Outbuildings include a barn, carriage house and relocated servants' quarters.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent; a private residence restored by its owners in the 1960s, with a kitchen wing and screened porch added.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.167155-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/97/9724/40972497/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/79002971.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972497","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321533"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harrison-county/dial-williamson-house-79002971/"}
