Washington Street in Clarkesville, Habersham County, Georgia, built in 1915 by Cornelius Church as his residence.","why_significant":"Architecturally, it is a good example of the early 20th century Georgian Revival style in its one-story form, a type common in Clarkesville that helps give the city its character. Its pressed metal shingle roof is virtually unique in the multiple resource area. Historically, it was the home of Cornelius Church, a prominent early 20th century businessman, developer and builder.","narrative":"Built in 1915 at 304 N. Washington Street in Clarkesville, this one-story house was the residence of Cornelius Church, who designed and built it himself. Church was a leader in the community and a businessman, developer and builder, and he lived in the house until his death. Two of his major local enterprises, a gas station and a store, stand immediately northeast of it. The wood-frame house rests on a brick foundation and has a rectangular plan, a central hall, a hipped roof with clipped dormers, paired wooden sash windows in a Queen Anne pane arrangement, and a recessed front porch with square Doric columns. It is valued as a good example of early 20th century Georgian Revival design in a one-story form, a type that reflects the turn-of-the-century prosperity of Clarkesville. Its pressed metal shingle roof is virtually unique among the surrounding resources. The house is vacant and in fair condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Cornelius Church","architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Vacant, in fair condition; remains in the ownership of Church descendants.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.32942-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/82002428.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100006669","name":"Clarkesville Downtown Square Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/clarkesville-downtown-square-historic-district-100006669/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206184","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134360407"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/habersham-county/church-cornelius-house-82002428/"}
