It is also tied to the late-nineteenth-century timber industry and to two locally prominent families, the McArthurs and Emory Winship's family.","narrative":"Woodland is a two-story country house of 1877 on a four-acre landscaped lot in rural Wheeler County, near Lumber City, Georgia. The L-shaped weatherboarded main house has a multi-gabled roof, bay windows, bracketed cornices and a full-width front porch trimmed with elaborate arched sawnwork. A separate rear building, once holding the kitchen, dining room, pantry and a schoolroom, connects to the house by a two-story porch walkway. Inside, the house has pressed-metal ceilings and cornices, marbelized mantels and scalloped wainscoting in the central hall. Walter T. McArthur built the house while developing his father's land as a timber plantation after the Civil War, at a time when lumbering was becoming the leading local industry. His son Douglas managed the property afterward, and in 1917 it was sold to naval officer Emory Winship, who used it as a hunting lodge and retreat. The house is described as the largest and most imposing in the county and an unusually finished rural example of its period.","period_of_significance":"1870-1877","architect_builder":"Builders: Captain Renwick and Johnus Thormaholon","architectural_style":"Victorian Eclectic","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Listed as private residence and marked unoccupied; a 1975 renovation and 1978 kitchen relocation altered the interior.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.279875-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/84001301.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001301/ecdcc76187-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001301/ecdcc76187-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jud McCranie","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woodland,_Wheeler_County,_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:Woodland,_Wheeler_County,_GA,_US.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209899","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodland_(Lumber_City,_Georgia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30598930"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/wheeler-county/woodland-84001301/"}
