Wright.","why_significant":"It is one of a few small antebellum Greek Revival houses in the Cave Spring area. Its plan and detailing are representative of the type, with a later Victorian-style porch, and it reflects a vernacular treatment by a local carpenter-builder. It also represents the kind of dwelling built by settlers after the land opened to settlement in 1832.","narrative":"Built in the 1840s on Cedartown Street in Cave Spring, this one-story frame house is a modest example of Greek Revival design. It has a nearly square plan, a low hip roof, two interior chimneys, weatherboard siding, and a five-bay front facade with a central doorway framed by engaged columns, side lights and a transom. A rear ell connects to what may have been a separate kitchen. The front porch, with chamfered square posts and lattice balustrade, reflects later Victorian woodworking tastes. Elizabeth H. Wright was the original owner. John M. Carroll, an early settler and co-owner of the grist mill, later held it, and then Alexander Harper, whose family kept it until 1894. The house matters as one of few small antebellum Greek Revival dwellings in the Cave Spring area, shaped by a local carpenter-builder working from experience, pattern books and current fashion. Its site near the spring is typical of early settlement after 1832.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and used as a rental residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.956268-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001023.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"80001055","name":"Rolator Park Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/rolator-park-historic-district-80001055/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93205996","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/floyd-county/carroll-harper-house-80001023/"}
