Washington Street in Clarkesville, Habersham County, Georgia, built around 1900 by Robert McMillan on a roughly 2.3-acre landscaped lot.","why_significant":"The house is described as one of the largest and most impressive Queen Anne-style houses in Clarkesville. Its turn-of-the-century landscape and 1930s masonry fountain and barbeque pit, built by a local black craftsman, add landscape architecture significance. It is also tied to local attorney and judicial figure Robert McMillan and later to physician W. H. Garrison.","narrative":"Built around 1900 at 403 S. Washington Street in Clarkesville, this two-story wood-frame house is regarded as one of the largest and most impressive Queen Anne-style homes in the town. It has an asymmetrical form with cross-gable roofs, weatherboard siding on a brick foundation, paired sash windows, and sunburst patterns with cutwork in the gables. Inside, the rooms open off a central stairhall. The house was believed built by Robert McMillan, a local attorney and judicial figure, who later built another residence behind it. It passed to the Black family and then, in 1923, to physician W. H. Garrison, who altered the porch in a Craftsman style, added heat, and remodeled the interior in 1932. The grounds include a lawn, large trees, a semi-circular drive, and a 1930s masonry fountain and barbeque pit made by a local black craftsman. The property was recognized for its architecture, landscape setting, and local history.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Robert McMillan","architectural_style":"Late Victorian / Queen Anne, with a Craftsman-style porch","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.16872-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/82002440.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206212","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134362780"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/habersham-county/mcmillan-garrison-house-82002440/"}
