Coleman, with two historic barns and an implement shed.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be an important and imposing example of late Victorian Eclecticism in the county, combining Queen Anne massing with Eastlake detailing. It is also tied to James W. Coleman, a farmer and lumber manufacturer active in Moultrie's turn-of-the-century boom. Later owners kept it as a \"model farm\" that helped promote the county to newcomers.","narrative":"Set on a rise amid farmland near Moultrie, this two-story frame house with an attic was built in 1903 by James W. Coleman. Its square plan, hipped roof with varied gables, wrap-around porch with porte cochere, and gazebo-like second-floor porch show Queen Anne massing, while turned posts, brackets, spools and a paneled staircase supply Eastlake detail. Inside, a central hall is flanked by rooms with individualized mantels, heart pine floors and tongue-and-groove ceilings. Two barns and an implement shed survive on the property. Coleman moved to Colquitt County in 1894, just after the railroad reached Moultrie, and became a successful farmer and lumber manufacturer. He built the county's first modern cotton gin, fertilizer-mixing plant and cotton warehouse. He lived here only about two years before moving into town. Later owners ran the property as a model farm that was used to promote the county, and one owner, William W. Boyd, served as county sheriff. The house is regarded as one of the county's most imposing Victorian homes.","period_of_significance":"1903","architect_builder":"Unknown (built by owner James W.
