McKinney, with agricultural outbuildings and fields.","why_significant":"The house is considered one of a very few distinguished early-20th-century residences in Cave Spring, noted for sound construction, fine stucco work and Craftsman-style detailing. The farm is described as the finest and most complete local example of the north Georgia dairy-farming movement. It is also significant as the home of Dr. McKinney, a doctor for the Georgia School for the Deaf and a director of the Hearn Academy.","narrative":"Built in 1919 on Cedartown Street in Cave Spring, this one-story farmhouse was the home of Dr. W.T. McKinney and the center of a working dairy farm. The house is nearly square, with a broad hip roof, several interior chimneys, a recessed porch on the front and north side, and stucco over masonry and frame construction. Porch columns are square piers on pedestals, and the sash windows have long, narrow panes, reflecting Craftsman-style detailing. The grounds hold scattered trees and a broad lawn, with two barns, a masonry smokehouse, other wood-framed outbuildings, a tenant house and fields nearby. The property was recognized for its architecture, as one of few distinguished early-20th-century residences in the area, and for agriculture, as the finest and most complete local example of the dairy-farming movement that grew popular in north Georgia. It also carries local history value through McKinney, who served the Georgia School for the Deaf as a doctor and sat as a director of the Hearn Academy.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Craftsman-style detailing on an early-20th-century farmhouse","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and in current use as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.159191-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001049.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206026","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/floyd-county/mckinney-dr-w-t-house-80001049/"}
