It is also known as the Horton House.","why_significant":"The house is tied to Dr. Miller, a leading physician of the late 1800s who used it as his office and residence. It is also remembered locally as the town telephone exchange from 1909 to 1958. It is further cited as a fine Greek Revival cottage whose integrity survived the move.","narrative":"This one-story Greek Revival cottage in Lumpkin, Georgia, dates to about 1850. Thomas Johnston of Louvale built it for his bride, Carrie Beall, on a lot next to Bedingfield Inn beside the courthouse square. It later passed to Fort Brothers, Inc., and was rented to Dr. Miller, who used it as both office and residence. Dr. Miller was considered a leading physician in the late 1800s. From 1909 until 1958, when the town switched to dial service, it housed the local telephone exchange, the use most residents associate with it today. In 1959 it was bought and moved to East Main Street. The house has a square plan, hip roof, central portico with two square columns, double front doors with transoms, and weatherboard siding. Its simple, dignified proportions are cited as a fine example of Greek Revival cottage design, and its architectural integrity was reportedly not harmed by the move. It remains a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; described as in good condition in a residential neighborhood.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.090338-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/82002468.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206578","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134457229"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/stewart-county/dr-millers-office-82002468/"}
