It was built c.1820-1834 in Hancock County, expanded in the 1840s and 1887, and moved in 1981.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare Georgia example of a 19th-century three-part symmetrical plan that evolved in stages from a one-story central hallway house to an I-house and then to its present form. The plan recalls 18th-century Virginia Palladian-influenced houses, and few examples were built in Georgia. The house is considered very intact, and its 1981 move kept its integrity and a compatible rural setting.","narrative":"Originally built in rural Hancock County, Georgia, this wood-framed house was moved about 20 miles to a wooded lot outside Milledgeville in 1981 to save it from deterioration. It began between 1820 and 1834 as a one-story central hallway house, possibly a dogtrot, on land owned by Samuel M. Devereux. A second story was added a few years later, with ceilings of ten feet compared with seven feet downstairs and Greek Revival details in the upper rooms. In 1887 owner William Coleman, a Virginia native, added two pedimented front wings and a connecting two-level porch, creating a symmetrical U-shaped plan. The arrangement echoes Palladian-influenced Virginia houses of the 18th century, and few comparable examples were built in Georgia. Hand-planed boards, original doors and simple mantels survive inside. The house was listed for its architectural significance as a rare, highly intact example of a house that evolved over six decades into a three-part form.","period_of_significance":"c.1820-1834, 1887","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Other: I-house, Folk Victorian","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a single dwelling.
