William P. Price House) is a three-story frame house at 403 South Park Street in Dahlonega, Lumpkin County, Georgia, built around 1875 by Colonel William Pierce Price.","why_significant":"The house is significant for its four-over-four central hall plan, which was more typical of antebellum houses than of the 1870s, and for intact Victorian porch details, gabled window lintels and plain mantels. It is also tied to Price's role in founding North Georgia College and his career in local and state politics. It was also the childhood home of genealogist Caroline Price Wilson and a residence of Colonel John W. West.","narrative":"Seven Oaks is a three-story frame house at 403 South Park Street in Dahlonega, built around 1875 for Colonel William Pierce Price. It has four rooms on each of the first two floors around a central hall, an attic floor lit by dormer and gable windows, and a Victorian U-shaped front porch. The plan resembles antebellum houses rather than the styles of the 1870s. The house was altered in the twentieth century with side wings, bathrooms and apartment divisions, but it kept its original staircase, plain mantels and gabled window lintels. Price, a lawyer, state legislator, U.S. Congressman and Dahlonega's first mayor, helped secure the old U.S. Mint site for North Georgia College and served as president of its board of trustees from 1870 to 1908. His daughter Caroline Price Wilson, an early genealogical author, grew up here, and college president John W. West also lived in the house. A barn from the 1880s survives on the lot.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Unknown (built by Colonel William Pierce Price as owner)","architectural_style":"Four over four central hall plan with Victorian porch details","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Marked unoccupied and vacant; the apartments were closed and the house was used for storage pending renovation.
