Cruthfield (also spelled Crutchfield), with a small historic wood frame garage and landscaped grounds.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a good example of a locally designed Neo-Classical residence in South Georgia and the only one remaining in Vidalia. It is also tied to Crawford W. Brazell, a prominent naval stores dealer, and to Vidalia's first major period of economic growth. The informal early twentieth century landscaping adds significance in landscape architecture.","narrative":"Built in 1911 on a corner lot in Vidalia, Georgia, this two-story house was designed and built by local architect-builder Ivey P. Cruthfield for Crawford W. Brazell, a prominent dealer in naval stores. Its monumental pedimented portico, two-tier porches and wooden columns mark it as Neo-Classical, while the asymmetrical massing and open floor plan retain Victorian traits. The interior is finished in heart yellow pine from Brazell's own timberland. The grounds hold a formal garden, grape arbors, a historic wood frame garage, mature trees and a tall palm. It is the only Neo-Classical house remaining of three built in Vidalia. Construction coincided with the city's first major economic growth after its founding in 1889, and the Brazell family, whose daughters lived there for decades, took part in local life. The house was recognized for its architecture, landscape and local history.","period_of_significance":"1911","architect_builder":"Ivey P.
