It is also valued architecturally for combining a Greek Revival entrance with Victorian gingerbread and window treatments, reflecting the mix of styles in Columbus after the Civil War.","narrative":"Built around 1885 at 927 3rd Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, this one-story frame house on a raised brick foundation is a local example of Victorian Gothic design. It has weatherboard siding, a high-pitched roof with open eaves, and a projecting wing ending in a bay window with a hexagonal metal roof. The porch has square posts with beveled shafts, decorative brackets and a balustrade of repeating flowing tracery balusters. The front entry is a Greek Revival doorway with tall four-over-four sash windows nearby. City directories list Mrs. Catherine McArdle, a widow, and Frank McArdle at this address as early as 1886, and family members appear there through 1912. Frank McArdle was associated with an auctioneer and commission firm. The house appears on Sanborn insurance maps of 1889 and 1895. It was recognized for local history and architecture, since its blend of Greek Revival and Victorian elements reflects the change in building styles in Columbus after the Civil War. It remains a residence in good repair.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian Gothic, with Greek Revival entranceway","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; described as in good repair, in a neighborhood transitioning to commercial and office use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.120311-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001184.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001184/26a23fb14c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001184/26a23fb14c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Blastoids","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McArdle_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Blastoids</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McArdle_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206500","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134427422"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/mcardle-house-80001184/"}
