It is believed to be the oldest surviving home in Vidalia and the only surviving home of a founding father. It also reflects the commercial, planning and ethnic heritage contributions of two Polish Jewish immigrant merchants.","narrative":"Built around 1903 at 403 Jackson Street in Vidalia, Georgia, this one-and-one-half story frame house combines Queen Anne and Neo-Classical Revival styling. Its full front porch has Ionic columns and turned balusters, and hexagonal shapes recur in the porches, hallways, stairwell and sidewalk pavers. Inside are original wood floors, beaded wainscoting and mantels with Ionic columns. It was built for Moses Leader and Nahum Aaron Rosansky, Polish Jewish immigrants who arrived in 1890 and ran the Leader & Rosansky Store, the area's largest trade mart, until 1928. They also bought land, laid out nearby residential streets, and gave land for a church, schools and city streets. The house is believed to be Vidalia's oldest surviving home and the only one left from the city's founders. The architect is thought to be Ivey P. Crutchfield, though this is unverified. A 1955 fire damaged the second floor, and a 1993 rehabilitation adapted the house to office use.","period_of_significance":"c.1903-1930","architect_builder":"Ivey P.
