Architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The house combines a saltbox roofline with a Greek Revival plan and has a finely crafted front door with bentwood sidelights and transom. It is also tied to Lumpkin's early settlement and education, since its first owner was a local grocer who served on the Poor School Fund board and housed boarders from the Masonic Female Academy.","narrative":"Built around 1840, this one-story Greek Revival cottage on Rockwell Street in Lumpkin was the home of Stoddard Rockwell, who received the land in 1837 and lived there for the rest of his life. The frame house has a saltbox roofline, a central hall with six rooms, and four stuccoed brick chimneys. Its front door is considered one of the finest in town, with sidelights and transom decorated in an elliptical pattern of bent wood. Rockwell ran a grocery, served on the Board of Commissioners of the Poor School Fund, and took in female boarders from the Masonic Female Academy in the 1850s. The house therefore reflects both the type of home built for early merchants and a chapter in the town's educational history. The property stayed in the Rockwell family until 1888, and it remains a residence. The front porch has been replaced by a screened porch, and the house is in fair condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival Cottage","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; described as in fair condition, with the front porch replaced by a screened porch.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.255683-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/82002476.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206598","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/stewart-county/rockwell-stoddard-house-82002476/"}
