It is wood frame on brick piers with a distinctive parameter roof.","why_significant":"The house is significant in local history because an entire family of mill workers lived there soon after it was built, suggesting it was built for the working class. It is significant in architecture as an example of the Greek Revival cottage in Columbus and for its parameter roof, a form used in many local houses. The roof's high central peak and vented flat apex helps cool the house in hot, humid summers.","narrative":"This one-story cottage at 1625 3rd Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, dates to about 1889 and is built in the Greek Revival style. It is a wood frame house on brick piers, with horizontal weatherboarding and a symmetrical front facade centered on a simple door. Its roof is the local parameter type, made of four equal trapezoids rising to a small flat apex. The vented peak lets convection currents cool the house through long, humid summers. A later brick porch sits under the main roof, with boxed Tuscan columns and bracketed fretwork; the columns were reworked and rear rooms added around 1930. The house appears on Sanborn maps of 1889 and 1895. By 1894 the Willis family, who all worked in local mills, lived here, which suggests the house was built for working-class residents. It is valued locally both as a representative Greek Revival cottage and for its characteristic Columbus roofline. It remains a private dwelling.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival cottage","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as a private dwelling in current use; porch columns were reworked and rooms added at the rear around 1930.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.440356-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001139.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/93206408","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134400009"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/building-at-1625-third-avenue-80001139/"}
