Daniel.","why_significant":"The house is significant for its architecture as a vernacular blend of Georgian Revival, Craftsman and Neo-classical elements, reportedly designed by a licensed Savannah architect. It is also significant as the home of Dr. James Wallace Daniel (1872-1957), a locally prominent physician, state senator and philanthropist. The form cites Criteria B and C.","narrative":"Built in 1910 at 102 North Newton Street in Claxton, this one-and-one-half story cottage combines Georgian Revival form with Craftsman details. It has a central hall plan, a hipped roof with overhanging eaves, heart pine weatherboarding, and a wrap-around porch with Neo-classical columns. Inside are paneled wainscoting, original mantels, exposed ceiling beams and leaded glass cupboards. The nomination says a licensed Savannah architect designed it, though no name is given, and notes a resemblance to Beauvoir in Mississippi. The house was built for Dr. James Wallace Daniel (1872-1957), a physician, state senator and philanthropist who developed a tonsillectomy instrument and opened a clinic for the procedure. He and his wife hosted church, Red Cross and cancer-fight meetings here and cared for patients and babies needing special attention. A 1924 screened sleeping room and a carport tied to his medical practice were added. It remains a private home.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1910)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian Revival cottage with Craftsman influence","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied private residence in excellent condition; altered, on its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.757353-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/83000192.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000192/9aa0622d2c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000192/9aa0622d2c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jud McCranie","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._James_W._Daniel_House,_Claxton,_GA,_US.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jud McCranie</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._James_W._Daniel_House,_Claxton,_GA,_US.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207959","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._James_W._Daniel_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q105820853"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/evans-county/daniel-dr-james-w-house-83000192/"}
