Kidd. It sits on about one acre with several historic outbuildings.","why_significant":"The house is described as one of the finest Queen Anne style examples in the Hartwell multiple resource area, with interior plan and detailing showing vernacular design and craftsmanship. Its group of surviving historic outbuildings is also noted as relatively rare. It is also tied to C. I. Kidd, a prominent businessman whose livery business served local transportation and contributed to downtown Hartwell's growth.","narrative":"Built in 1896-1897 at 304 West Howell Street in Hartwell, Georgia, this two-story frame house reflects Queen Anne influences within a Victorian-eclectic design. A two-story gabled bay with fish-scale shingles and an open-work bargeboard projects from the front, and a second-story porch runs across the facade to a conical-roofed turret. The entrance frieze includes a masonic emblem cut with a jigsaw. Inside, an asymmetrical plan surrounds a central stair hall, with tongue-and-groove surfaces, period mantels and turned millwork. The house was built for Charles I. Kidd, who owned a livery business in downtown Hartwell and rebuilt his stable in brick after a fire in 1897. A local newspaper called the house one of the handsomest in town. The lot also holds a brick greenhouse, a frame garage and a frame chicken house. The property was recognized for its architecture and for Kidd's role in local commerce and transportation.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian-eclectic with Queen Anne style influences","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"In use as a residence and described as being 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 02:55:42.664601-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/86002032.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002032/aa121298b1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002032/aa121298b1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Upstateherd","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_I._Kidd_House_-_Hartwell,_GA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Upstateherd</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:Charles_I._Kidd_House_-_Hartwell,_GA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206262","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I._Kidd_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q43148506"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/hart-county/kidd-charles-i-house-86002032/"}
