Turner.","why_significant":"The house is significant for its association with Charles E. Turner, a clerk for a Broad Street drug concern, Brannan and Carson Co. It is also significant architecturally as an example of early 20th century homes that blend old and new styles, pairing 1/1 sash windows with a traditional truncated hip roof and Eastlake porch details.","narrative":"This one-story Victorian cottage at 909 3rd Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, dates to about 1903-1904. The address first appears in the 1904 city directory, and the house was apparently built for Charles E. Turner and his wife, Eunice, who lived there until 1912. Turner worked as a clerk for Brannan and Carson Co., a wholesale and retail drug business on Broad Street. The wood frame house has a side-hall, five-room irregular plan, a truncated hipped roof with gables, two interior chimneys, and a front porch. Eastlake brackets, pendants, post turnings and balusters decorate the porch, while gable peaks have vergeboards and louvered vents. Its 1/1 sash windows gave a modern look for the period, yet the roofline follows the traditional Columbus truncated hip form. The house was recognized locally for its association with Turner and as a representative example of early twentieth century homes that combine older and newer styles. It was in fair condition and used as a private dwelling.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian Cottage with Eastlake detailing","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as a private dwelling in fair condition, in a residential area where homes are rapidly being converted to law offices.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.96479-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001206.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206536","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134438410"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/turner-charles-e-house-80001206/"}
