It is also significant architecturally as a conservative Greek Revival design representing building styles in Columbus during the Civil War era.","narrative":"This one-story Greek Revival cottage at 1612 3rd Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, dates to about 1860. It has a central hall with four roughly equal rooms, a hip roof extending over a front porch, a raised brick pier foundation, and wood frame construction with six-inch exposed clapboard siding. The symmetrical facade centers on a door with a three-part transom, flanked by two double-hung windows on each side, and Tuscan-capital pilaster columns mark both ends of the porch. City directories and Sanborn maps place the house in the 1890s, when George Henry, listed as a carpenter, lived here with his wife Delia, a nurse and midwife. Members of the Henry family remained until at least 1912. The house is valued locally as the home of this couple and as an example of housing built by people of similar means. It is also considered a conservative Greek Revival design from the Civil War era.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and in use as residential rental property; roll tar paper roofing was applied to preserve the house.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.563809-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001128.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"04000669","name":"High Uptown Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/high-uptown-historic-district-04000669/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206402","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/building-at-1612-3rd-avenue-80001128/"}
