Denson.","why_significant":"The nomination cites local history significance because the house was apparently built for William H. Denson, an agent for an out-of-state correspondence school. It cites architectural significance as one of very few Eastlake cottages in the downtown black area, and it is an exact mirror-plan copy of its neighbor.","narrative":"This one-story Eastlake cottage at 930 5th Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, dates to 1904. It has an ell plan, a truncated hip roof with a gable over the ell, weatherboard frame walls, a brick foundation and an asphalt shingle roof. The front facade has five bays, and the porch runs from the projecting ell to the end of the house, with turned supports and balusters and spool gingerbread. The gable end has boxed cornice returns and a diamond vent. Inside, four rooms follow a variation of a central hall plan. City directories list the address first in 1904, with William H. Denson, an agent for a Scranton, Pennsylvania correspondence school, living there with his wife. By 1906 a grocer had taken the address. The house matters locally for that association and for its architecture, as one of very few Eastlake cottages in the downtown black area. It and its neighbor are exact copies of each other with the plans reversed. It sits among late Victorian cottages and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eastlake","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and in use as a private dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.400903-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001162.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206456","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/denson-william-h-house-80001162/"}
