It also has local social history importance through its ties to Edgar McCurry, Frank Kidd and William Lamar Hailey, each from a prominent Hartwell family and each holding a professional position in the community.","narrative":"Built around 1920-1924 at 602 West Howell Street in Hartwell, this two-story brick house reflects the Georgian Revival style. Augusta architect Willis Irwin designed it, and a Mr. Bond of Decatur served as general contractor. Features include a four-columned entrance porch with a segmentally arched pediment, one-story wings serving as an open porch and a porte cochere, and front windows grouped in a local take on a Palladian motif. Inside, the central hall plan remains intact, with Craftsman-style mantels and glazed French doors. It was built for Dr. Edgar McCurry, a Hartwell physician, then sold to Frank Kidd, a business and civic leader who served on the staffs of two governors. Later it passed to attorney William Lamar Hailey, who served as county and city attorney. The house is considered the only major example of its style in Hartwell and is valued for its architecture and its links to three prominent local men.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Willis Irwin/Mr. Bond","architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition with only minor alterations since construction; used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.257862-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/86002035.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002035/d5effcedf0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002035/d5effcedf0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Upstateherd","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McCurry-Kidd_House.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:McCurry-Kidd_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206266","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCurry-Kidd_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q46996405"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/hart-county/mccurry-kidd-house-86002035/"}
