It was built in 1935-1936 by the Works Progress Administration.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is an intact example of a 1930s WPA-built community landmark building in rural Georgia, with understated Craftsman and Colonial Revival influences. It is also significant for the role of the Redbone Woman's Club in getting it built and run, for its link to federal Depression-era relief programs, and for its early rural electrification. It has served as the community's social center since the 1930s.","narrative":"Redbone Community House is a one-story wood-frame clubhouse in the rural Redbone community of Lamar County, Georgia. Built in 1935-1936 by the Works Progress Administration, it has a front-gabled roof with elbow brackets and exposed rafter ends, weatherboard siding, stone chimneys, a stone foundation and a shed-roofed partial front porch. Inside are a large community room, a stage, a kitchen, a brick fireplace and beaded-board walls and ceilings. The Redbone Woman's Club, founded in 1922, led the effort to find land, elect trustees, gather materials and then run the building until 1981. The club later passed management to the Redbone Community Club. The building is regarded as an intact example of a Depression-era community landmark. It was also among the first rural buildings in the country to receive electricity through the Rural Electrification Administration, and it hosted a banquet for the agency's head in 1938. It has served as a meeting place, polling site and venue for political speakers.","period_of_significance":"1935","architect_builder":"Works Progress Administration (WPA)","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century Revivals/Colonial Revival; Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements/Craftsman","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a community clubhouse, run by the Redbone Community Club; repaired with a Georgia Heritage 2000 Grant in 1996-1997.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.515354-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/98000323.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93208767","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbone_Community_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q29092825"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/lamar-county/redbone-community-house-98000323/"}
