Paul Dismuke. It is also significant in architecture as a typical turn-of-the-century Columbus home, with its Classical Revival porch, truncated hipped roof, fishscale shingle gable and grouped windows.","narrative":"Built around 1906 at 1535 3rd Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, this two-story weatherboard house sits in what was once the elite High Uptown neighborhood. It has a truncated hipped roof with gables, two interior chimneys, a brick foundation and a one-story Classical Revival porch with a bellcast roof running the length of the front. The front gable has a Palladian-like window and fishscale shingles, and the interior follows a side-hall plan. City directories first list the address in 1906, when Henry Lindsay Woodruff and his wife lived there. Woodruff headed Columbus Ice and Cold Storage Company and Empire Mills Company. By 1908 E. Paul Dismuke, a cotton manufacturing executive, and his wife had moved in, staying until 1918. The house was recognized locally as a representative home of influential turn-of-the-century business leaders and as a typical example of the period's residential style. Rear additions and a later porch screening are minor changes.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian with Classical Revival details","criteria":[],"status_note":"In use as a dwelling and described as in good condition; the porch was screened in about 1970 and rear room additions were made between about 1900 and 1930.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.224351-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001176.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/93206546","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134419913"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/woodruff-henry-lindsay-house-80001176/"}
