It centers on a two-story Neoclassical Revival house built c. 1913-1914, with four historic outbuildings and a filled well.","why_significant":"The farm is significant in architecture because the main house is an outstanding early-20th-century Neoclassical Revival dwelling with a Georgian plan. It is significant in agriculture for the advanced apple orchard methods used by Phil Ogletree, including mechanized irrigation and central spraying, and for its ties to North Georgia's apple industry. Ogletree was named a Master Farmer in 1926.","narrative":"Ogletree Farm is a 68-acre property in the rural community of View, three miles northwest of Cornelia in Habersham County, Georgia. Its centerpiece is a large two-story Neoclassical Revival house built around 1913-1914, with a full-width porch, colossal columns, a cantilevered balcony and a central-hall Georgian plan. A log-centered barn, hot house, pump house, privy and well also survive from the same period. Phil Ogletree, a Georgia Tech engineering graduate, bought the land in 1912 and ran an apple orchard there for about twenty years. He used mechanized irrigation and a central spray plant, and helped found the Habersham Apple Growers Association and a regional packing house. In 1926 Progressive Farmer magazine named him a Master Farmer. He lost the farm during the 1930s after defaulting on two loans. The farm is recognized for its architecture and for its role in North Georgia's apple industry.","period_of_significance":"1912-c.1933","architect_builder":"Not known.
