It stands east of the Consolidated Government Center among c. 1890 houses converted to law offices.","why_significant":"The form argues the house is architecturally significant as one of the few remaining Greek Revival cottages in downtown Columbus, notable for the moulding around its trabeated front entrance, which is rare locally. It is also significant in local history as the 1890s home of Henry H. Daniel, a grocer and officer of the Mutual Cotton Oil Co.","narrative":"Built around 1845-1850, this one-story Greek Revival cottage at 944 2nd Avenue in Columbus is a rare survivor in the downtown area. It is a rectangular weatherboard frame building on a brick foundation with a seamed metal roof, three exterior chimneys and one interior chimney. A porch runs the length of the front, with six Doric columns supporting the frieze and cornice and a balustrade between them. The central trabeated entrance, framed by distinctive moulding, is described as rare in Columbus. Inside, a central hall has two rooms on each side, and a semi-detached kitchen ell sits behind. Shed additions were made to the rear around 1910, and a room was added to the north about 1940. The house appears on Sanborn maps of 1889 and 1895. Henry H. Daniel, a grocer and officer of the Mutual Cotton Oil Co., lived here from the early 1890s until about 1900. Today the house is used commercially among former homes turned law offices.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival cottage","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as commercial property in fair condition, with no landscaping; surrounding houses have been converted to law offices.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.562396-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001144.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206420","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/building-at-944-second-avenue-80001144/"}
