Pond.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be architecturally unique in Columbus for its extensive carved applied ornament and one of only two structures in the survey area with a beveled frieze in the cornice. It is also an excellent example of the mixed architectural styles of the late 19th century. Locally, it was the home of George Y. Pond, a Deputy Clerk of the U.S. Circuit and District Courts, who built across the street from the courthouse.","narrative":"Built around 1888 to 1890 at 922 Second Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, this two-story Late Victorian eclectic house is notable for its decorative woodwork. The weatherboard frame building has a truncated hip roof, a one-story porch with a second-floor solarium, octagonal porch supports paired with Corinthian columns, leaded glass sidelights and a fanlight at the entrance, and floor-length French windows. Carved applied ornament covers the porch ceiling, porch cornice and roof cornice. A two-story projecting bay window sits on the south side. It is one of only two structures in its survey area with a beveled frieze in the cornice, and a nearly identical house stands two doors away. George Y. Pond, a deputy clerk of the U.S. circuit and district courts, appears at this address in the 1891-1892 city directory. He lived across the street from the courthouse where he worked. The Pond family stayed until about 1902, when jeweler Charles M. Kinsel took over. Surrounding homes have become law offices, and this one now serves that use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian eclectic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Currently used as law offices; described as in good condition, with a modern brick foundation reworked when the house was restored.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.462792-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001191.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001191/021cbf11cc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001191/021cbf11cc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Linames2018","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Pond_House_Columbus_GA_USA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Linames2018</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Pond_House_Columbus_GA_USA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206508","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134427630"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/pond-george-house-80001191/"}
