Crocker. It sits on a farm of about 536 acres.","why_significant":"Built in 1823, it is one of the earliest surviving structures in the Marshallville area. Its Plantation Plain style is typical of early 19th century Georgia and early Marshallville architecture. It is also tied to the area's early agricultural development, and with Massee Plantation and the Billy Place it helped establish the large plantation system in the vicinity.","narrative":"Thronateeska is a two-story frame farmhouse built in 1823 for Dr. W.N.L. Crocker, about three miles west of present-day Marshallville in Macon County, Georgia. Crocker practiced medicine in the area for many years and served in the State Senate in 1847. The house follows the Plantation Plain style, with a central hall and double rooms on each floor, ceilings about twelve feet tall, and a one-story porch with six square columns. Later changes include a rear shed addition, a bedroom made from part of the downstairs hall, and lattice work on the porch. The house is in fair condition, and the surrounding land is still farmed. Six generations of the Crocker family have lived here. It was listed because it is one of the oldest surviving structures near Marshallville, because its style is typical of early 19th century Georgia, and because the farm, together with Massee Plantation and the Billy Place, helped establish the area's large plantation system.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Plantation Plain","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in fair condition; in use as a residence and farm, with the surrounding land still farmed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.070074-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80004445.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206358","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/macon-county/thronateeska-80004445/"}
