It was the first apartment building in Fitzgerald and reflects the city's first period of sustained growth. It also applies Craftsman styling to a new building type.","narrative":"Built in 1909 one block west of downtown Fitzgerald, Georgia, this two-and-one-half-story brick building contains four two-bedroom flats, two on each of two floors with identical plans. A double-height front porch with square columns marks the center of the facade, and Craftsman details include a low multiple-gabled roof, broad eaves, dormers and diamond-pattern window glazing. Inside, plaster walls, oak floors, mantels and transoms survive, and the fireplaces were enclosed around 1950 when gas heaters were installed. A one-story carport with cast-iron columns, thought to date from about the same time, stands to the east. The building matters as the first apartment house in Fitzgerald, a town founded as a retirement colony for Civil War veterans and growing quickly in the early 1900s. Garden-style flats were more common in cities such as Atlanta and Macon, so a small-town example is unusual. It was recognized for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"1908","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as multiple dwellings; it recently underwent a certified rehabilitation, and the carport is currently used for storage.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.423602-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/87001905.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001905/0435cbcfde-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001905/0435cbcfde-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Bubba73 (Jud McCranie)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holtzendorf_Apartments,_Fitzgerald,_GA,_US.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Bubba73 (Jud McCranie)</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:Holtzendorf_Apartments,_Fitzgerald,_GA,_US.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206968","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holtzendorf_Apartments","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85767072"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/ben-hill-county/holtzendorf-apartments-87001905/"}
