It includes a Greek Revival plantation house built c.1850 and a former plantation office.","why_significant":"The plantation was the home of Alfred Holt Colquitt, later Georgia governor and U.S. Senator, and was a large working farm before and after the Civil War. The c.1850 house is an intact example of mid-19th-century Greek Revival architecture with an unusual U-shaped plan. It is described as the only house still standing in Georgia associated with Colquitt.","narrative":"Pinebloom Plantation is a roughly 2,000-acre tract of forest and farmland along Tarva Road in Baker County, Georgia, centered on a one-story Greek Revival house built about 1850. The wood-framed house sits on brick piers and has a hipped roof, a wrap-around front portico with twelve fluted columns, and an unusual U-shaped plan. A small plantation office, reportedly used by Alfred Holt Colquitt, is the only surviving historic outbuilding. Colquitt lived and farmed here from about 1850 until he sold the property in 1875. In the 1860 census, 93 enslaved people worked the home tract, growing cotton, corn, peas and beans, and sweet potatoes. He later served as Georgia's governor and as a U.S. Senator. The plantation is recognized for its agricultural history, its architecture, and its link to Colquitt. Later owners farmed, raised cattle and used the land for hunting. The house remains largely intact apart from some 1930s to 1970s changes.","period_of_significance":"c.1850-1875","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"The house remains in use as a single dwelling and the land is still used for agriculture and recreation, including pasture, a skeet range and a landing strip.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.552943-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/90000105.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206837","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Bloom_Plantation","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17019489"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/baker-county/pine-bloom-plantation-90000105/"}
