Its changes show the evolution of style, since it now reads as a later bungalow. It is also tied to Jared Irwin, an early settler who helped establish the county government and educational systems.","narrative":"Built around 1829-30, this one-story house on East Main Street in Lumpkin began as a log dog trot cabin and is considered the oldest surviving house in the town. It is also the only known log structure left in Lumpkin. Over time the building gained numerous additions, and the log walls were covered with weatherboard and shiplap. In the early 20th century it was remodeled to resemble a bungalow, with a porch featuring battered pier columns that was screened in about 1930. The original owner, Jared Irwin, was among the earliest settlers of Stewart County and held large amounts of land by 1830. He served as an original county commissioner and as Trustee of the Poor School Fund. He was killed in 1836 at the Battle of Shepard's Plantation. His widow remained in the house until her death in 1887, after which it passed through several owners. The house is valued for its age, its log construction beneath later changes, and its link to Lumpkin's earliest settlement.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungaloid in appearance, originally a log dog trot cabin with ell plan and saltbox type roof","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in use as a residence; it has had numerous additions and was remodeled in the early 20th century.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.276392-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/82002472.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206586","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134457266"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/stewart-county/irwin-jared-house-82002472/"}
