It was moved about half a block in 1938.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a good example of the small, wood-framed hotels once found in nearly every Georgia county seat, now increasingly rare. It also reflects two periods in McDonough's history, its early founding and post-Reconstruction prosperity. It is the oldest extant commercial building in McDonough and the only one of the town's four hotels to survive.","narrative":"Originally a hotel facing the courthouse square in McDonough, this two-story wood-framed building now stands at 20 Jonesboro Street, where it was moved in 1938 to make way for a service station. The older west half dates from 1827 and follows a Plantation Plain layout with a central chimney, nine-over-nine windows, and simple late Federal mantels. The east half, added in the last quarter of the 19th century, has four-over-four windows, a corbelled chimney, turned stair balusters, bracketed mantels, and an Eastlake-style front door. The hotel is regarded as a good example of the small, plain county-seat hotels that served businessmen, politicians, salesmen, and travelers, especially during court sessions. It was one of four hotels in McDonough, built four years after the town was founded, and is the only one that survives. It is the town's oldest extant commercial building. Recently rehabilitated into apartments, it retains much of its historic character despite some interior changes.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900-","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Plantation Plain (1827 west half) with late Federal-style mantels; postbellum east half with Eastlake-style detailing","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Converted to apartments in a rehabilitation certified as meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Standards; listed as occupied, private residence, condition excellent.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.513288-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/85001980.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001980/67d9d21bbb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001980/67d9d21bbb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"WishORama","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GlobeHotelMcDonough.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">WishORama</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GlobeHotelMcDonough.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"07001201","name":"McDonough Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/mcdonough-historic-district-07001201/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93208658","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_Hotel_(McDonough,_Georgia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5570982"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/henry-county/globe-hotel-85001980/"}
