R. Cason.","why_significant":"The house is significant architecturally as a good intact local example of the brick Craftsman style, with low massing, a low roofline, an asymmetric arrangement and straightforward use of materials. It is also the work of Jack Grubbs, an important early 20th century Lavonia builder. In local history terms, it was the home of Dr. R. R. Cason, Lavonia's fourth dentist.","narrative":"Built in 1932, this one-story brick bungalow at 60 Grogan Street in Lavonia was designed on a central hall plan and finished in the Craftsman manner. A porch with square Craftsman-inspired posts on brick foundations wraps around two sides, reached by semi-circular brick steps and floored with quarry tile. Inside, the living and dining rooms have brushed-design plaster walls and ceilings, separated by an architrave with radiating plaster-outlined voussoirs. A carport and utility shed were later added at the rear, and the house remains in good condition on a tract of two city lots. Local builder Jack Grubbs constructed it for Dr. R. R. Cason, Lavonia's fourth dentist, who practiced in a downtown office and lived here with his wife until selling in 1952. The house was listed as an intact local example of brick Craftsman architecture, as an example of Grubbs's work, and for its link to Cason.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Jack Grubbs","architectural_style":"Craftsman (brick bungalow)","criteria":[],"status_note":"In use as a residence and described as in good condition; a carport and utility shed were added at the rear.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.453748-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/83000203.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206062","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/franklin-county/cason-house-83000203/"}
