Architect and original owner are not named.","why_significant":"The form argues local significance in architecture and local history. It calls the house characteristic of Greek Revival dwellings in Columbus and one of the earliest surviving examples of the style. It also notes that later occupants, a butcher and a mill worker, were probably representative of the people who lived here after construction.","narrative":"This one-story frame house at 921 Fifth Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, dates to about 1850 and is a modest example of Greek Revival design. It has a square plan, a hipped roof with two interior chimneys, weatherboard siding and a brick foundation. The five-bay front facade has a center entrance with sidelights and a transom, and a full-width porch with tapered square columns on brick piers supports a complete entablature. The columns were remodeled around 1920. Inside, four rooms open off a central hall. The house is considered one of the earliest surviving examples of the style in Columbus and sits among other Greek Revival homes. Its social history is also noted: city directories and Sanborn maps place a butcher, Walter D. Simmons, here in the late 1890s, followed by a mill worker, Isadore Winer, by 1900. The form treats these residents as typical of the working people who lived in the house after it was built. It remains a private dwelling in fair condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as a private dwelling in fair condition; porch columns were remodeled around 1920.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.399599-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001143.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206418","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/building-at-921-fifth-avenue-80001143/"}
