It was built about 1834-35 by an unknown builder for Colonel Alfred Wellborn.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is architecturally unusual for its era, with two front doors, no central hall, connecting rooms and two separate stairways. It is also significant in local history as the home of Colonel Alfred Wellborn, a prominent planter and state senator who owned over 5,000 acres.","narrative":"Oakland is a two-story weatherboard plantation house beside Georgia Highway 41 near Warm Springs, built about 1834-35 for Colonel Alfred Wellborn. A pedimented portico with four square Doric columns, added in the 1930s, gives it a passing Greek Revival look. Inside, four rooms sit over four rooms with no central hall, two front doors open onto the portico and balcony, and two enclosed stairways rise from separate rooms. The nomination calls this layout unusual compared with other plantation houses of the period. Wellborn was a state senator in 1833-34 and at his death in 1857 owned over 5,000 acres and 242 slaves. The house later passed to his son-in-law and then, in 1873, to Franklin J. Williams, a county legislator. In 1936 the county bought the house with the neighboring airport. The house is now vacant, with a sound structure but deteriorating interior finishes and a collapsing side porch.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as unoccupied and vacant.
