Together with the house next door at 1606, it shows how closely Black and white residents lived in some parts of Columbus in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Architecturally it is one of the more elaborate houses in its neighborhood, likely adapting popular 1880s styles to a modest budget.","narrative":"Built in the late 1880s at 1608 3rd Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, this one-story Victorian cottage has an ell floor plan, a gable roof, a central chimney and weatherboard walls on a brick foundation. A pressed metal roof, decorative vergeboard in the gable and a porch tucked into the ell with bracketed supports give it more detail than most neighboring houses. Inside, three rooms connect, mantels are carved, and two rooms have corner fireplaces. City directories list Isaac Maund at this address from 1888. He worked first at the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Company and later as a carpenter, and he probably built the house himself, adapting popular 1880s styles to a modest budget. The house is valued as a record of a Black mill worker turned carpenter, and, with the house next door, it shows Black and white families living close together in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Metal awnings and a side room were added around 1960.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Probably Isaac Maund, carpenter (original owner)","architectural_style":"Victorian Cottage","criteria":[],"status_note":"Private dwelling in fair condition; metal awnings and a room on the south side were added around 1960.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.637777-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001179.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/93206490","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/isaac-maund-house-80001179/"}
