A. Kidd, Sr. on a four-acre tract with a pecan grove.","why_significant":"The house is described as one of the most elaborate Craftsman/Bungalow designs in the Lavonia multiple resource area, and unusual for being designed by a professional architect, Leila Ross Wilburn of Atlanta. The property is also significant as a small city farmstead that produced pecans rather than cotton, for its association with Kidd, a prominent local livery operator, and for its early 20th century pecan grove.","narrative":"Built in 1919 at 222 Hartwell Road in Lavonia, this one-and-one-half story frame house shows the Bungalow style with Craftsman details. It has a gabled roof with fishscale-shaped shingles, a large shed dormer, and a front porch on square wooden columns that extends to form a car shelter. Inside, rooms surround a central room, with a vaulted living room ceiling, a brick geometric mantel, and a stained glass window in the dining room. C. A. Kidd, Sr. and his wife built it after an earlier house on the site burned. Atlanta architect Leila Ross Wilburn designed it, which was unusual locally, since most nearby buildings were planned by local builders and brick masons. Kidd, who ran a livery business and later became the local Gulf Oil distributor, also planted the pecan grove that covers most of the four-acre lot. The property is valued for its architecture, its small city farmstead character, its landscape, and its local history.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Leila Ross Wilburn","architectural_style":"Bungalow / Craftsman","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence and described as in good condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.683797-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/83000209.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206078","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidd_House_(Lavonia,_Georgia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6404631"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/franklin-county/kidd-house-83000209/"}
