It is used as a residence.","why_significant":"The nomination cites local history, as the long-time home of J. Fred Usher, a local carpenter, and a family residence for 79 years. It also cites architecture: the bungalow represents middle-class housing of about 1910 and borrows simple lines from the area's Greek Revival homes. It is one of very few bungalows in Lumpkin and the latest historic domestic style in the multiple resource area.","narrative":"Located at East Main and Oak streets in Lumpkin, this one-story bungalow dates to about 1910. The Lumpkin Baptist Church sold the lot to Flossie Bush in 1909, and the house was standing by 1919, when it was sold to J. Fred Usher, a local carpenter who had worked on Bedingfield Inn and the Courthouse. It later passed to his sons and has remained in the Usher family. The house has a square plan, hip roof with a gable-end front porch, weatherboard siding over balloon framing, three interior chimneys, and a five-bay front facade with a central entrance. Exposed purlins, square porch columns and brackets add detail. It was listed for local history and architecture. Its simple lines echo the area's Greek Revival houses, and it is one of very few bungalows in Lumpkin, representing the latest historic domestic style in the town's resource area and middle-class housing of its era.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Current use is residence; described as in good condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.490063-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/82002467.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206576","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush-Usher_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85749640"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/stewart-county/bush-usher-house-82002467/"}
