S. Killingsworth.","why_significant":"The house is a good example of the late Victorian housing that gives Lavonia its turn-of-the-century boom town character, and its square cupola is one of only two in the multiple resource area. It was the nucleus of a cotton farm worked by tenant farmers. It was also the home of J. S. Killingsworth, a signer of Lavonia's city charter.","narrative":"Built in 1895-1896 on Hartwell Road in Lavonia, this one-story frame house was the residence of J. S. Killingsworth, a signer of the city's original charter. It follows a central hall plan with a wing on the south side, a hipped metal roof topped by a square cupola, and a porch that wraps around the front and sides. Several alterations are noted, including replacement columns and an enclosed section of porch. Behind the house stand a smoke house, barn, shed, grape arbor and a later garage. The property was the center of a cotton farm of more than 100 acres worked by tenant farmers, with a fruit orchard near the house. It was listed for its architecture as a good example of the late Victorian houses typical of Lavonia, for its cupola, which is rare locally, for its place in turn-of-the-century cash crop farming, and for its link to a founder of the city.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late Victorian; Victorian-inspired central hall plan house with craftsman-style porch columns","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and used as a rental; the farmland behind the house was divided off and excluded from the nominated area.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.469743-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/83000210.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206080","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/franklin-county/killingsworth-farm-83000210/"}
