Sutton on his family's cotton farm near Edison, Clay County, Georgia, at Sutton's Corners on U.S. Highway 27.","why_significant":"The house is significant for architecture, as a well-preserved Neoclassical Revival residence with classical detailing, and for agriculture, as the center of a large cotton farm worked by about 50 sharecropper families. The farm reflects the cotton boom, the effects of the boll weevil and World War I, and early mechanization, including the county's first tractor.","narrative":"Built in 1912 by Warren M. Sutton, this one-and-one-half-story Neoclassical Revival house sits near Edison in Clay County, Georgia, on what was once a cotton farm of about 2,000 acres. The wood-framed house has a brick foundation, clapboard walls, a slate roof, bay windows, pedimented dormers and a wrap-around porch with fluted Corinthian columns. Inside, a modified central hall plan, paneled wainscoting, classical mantels and a paneled stairwell survive. The property was listed for its architecture and its link to agriculture. Sutton farmed with about 50 sharecropping families, bought the county's first tractor after World War I, and responded to the 1921 cotton price collapse by building a sawmill, grist mill and warehouse. He died in 1927, and the house passed to a nephew's family and later to the Farmers Home Administration. A garage and a noncontributing metal shop building are on the 1.91-acre site.","period_of_significance":"1915-1927 (amended by the listing record to begin in 1912)","architect_builder":"Warren Sutton","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Classical Revival/Neoclassical Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current function listed as single dwelling; the listing record adds an agricultural outbuilding function.
