It centers on an antebellum main house built between 1835 and 1837 and remodeled around 1909, with farm outbuildings, a slave house ruin and a family cemetery.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the main house is a good example of a Federal-style antebellum house combined with Neoclassical Revival changes made in 1909. It is also significant in agriculture as the center of a large cotton farm and later one of the earliest and largest dairies in Troup County. The surviving outbuildings and acreage reflect the farm at its height in the 1920s.","narrative":"Just north of Interstate 85 near LaGrange, this Troup County farm district is built around a two-story white clapboard house begun between 1835 and 1837 for James W. Fannin. The house is said to have been designed by Collin Rogers in the Federal style. In 1909 James Madison Handley, Sr. remodeled it, adding a four-columned Ionic portico, a wraparound porch, oak floors and new interior details, while the original two-story entrances with sidelights and fan transoms were kept. Surrounding the house are a dairy barn, bottling rooms, hay and calf barns, a well house, a store, a tenant house, a slave house ruin and a family cemetery holding the graves of early owners. The place was a cotton plantation and later one of the earliest and largest dairies in the county under the Handley family. Its period of significance ends in 1924, when J. M. Handley died and farm development peaked. Eleven contributing resources survive from an original estate of about 800 acres.","period_of_significance":"c1835-1924","architect_builder":"Unknown (the form's architect/builder entry is \"Unknown,\" though the text says the original house is said to have been designed by Collin Rogers)","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Neoclassical Revival (with earlier Federal style features)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The property remains in private family ownership and is used as a single dwelling and for agricultural outbuildings.
