It was restored in 1985.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a good example of a pre-Civil War \"plantation plain\" house in Georgia's Piedmont. Its largely intact interior includes original plaster walls, staircase, paneled doors and mantels, and few such interiors survive without major alteration. The 1985 in-kind exterior restoration kept the house's form and heavy timber frame.","narrative":"Near Buckhead in southeast Morgan County, Georgia, this two-story wood-framed house was built around 1830 in the \"plantation plain\" style, with Federal detailing. It sits on a low rise near the Oconee River, with a brick foundation, a chimney at each end, a gabled roof and a projecting entrance portico. The plan is two rooms over two, with a central stair hall and two rear shed rooms. Its value lies chiefly in the interior, which keeps original plaster walls, wide random-width wall boards, the staircase and balustrade, wood-grained paneled doors, marbelized baseboards and hand-planed mantels. Few interiors of this kind have survived without major change. A 1985 restoration replaced weatherboarding and windows in kind, rebuilt the chimneys and restored the front porch, while keeping the original heavy timber frame. The listing covers the house and its immediate high-ground setting on about 7.75 acres, with one contributing building and two noncontributing outbuildings.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Plantation plain with Federal detailing","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Rated in excellent condition and altered; restored in 1985; occupied as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.074226-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/87000796.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000796/7506052705-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000796/7506052705-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Cynthia Jennings","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zachry_Kingston_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Cynthia Jennings</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:Zachry_Kingston_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209047","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zachry-Kingston_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85816959"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/morgan-county/zachry-kingston-house-87000796/"}
