Jacob Burrus.","why_significant":"It is argued to be significant for architecture as one of a limited number of bungalows remaining downtown, notable for combining Bungalow form with classical details. It is also significant locally as the home of W. Jacob Burrus, a grocery salesman who later managed a local motor company.","narrative":"This one-and-a-half-story bungalow at 307 11th Street in downtown Columbus, Georgia, dates from about 1920 to 1923. City directories list the address for the first time in 1923, when W. Jacob Burrus, a salesman for Deaton Grocery Co., lived here with his wife, Lilla. By 1925 he managed Bibb City Motor Co., and the couple stayed until 1928. The frame house has a jerkin-head roof, a central chimney, and a shingled dormer with a round arched window and keystone. Its full-length front porch is carried on Corinthian columns beneath a complete entablature. These classical details formalize an otherwise casual bungalow form, a combination described as unique among downtown Columbus houses. It is also noted as one of a limited number of bungalows left in the downtown area, and as having the finest jerkin-head roof there. The house remains a private dwelling in good condition, surrounded by older residential blocks and newer commercial development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow with classical detailing","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and used as a private dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.338636-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001208.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206540","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/w-jacob-burrus-house-80001208/"}
