Why it's listed
Built in 1904 at 313 S. Bartow Street in Nashville, Georgia, this one-story frame house is a Queen Anne-type cottage decorated with Folk Victorian details. It has a multi-gabled roof over a pyramidal main mass, shiplap siding, corbelled brick chimneys, and an L-shaped porch with turned posts, brackets and spindlework. Inside, the rooms are arranged asymmetrically without a central hall, and original hardwood floors, mantels, picture rails, beaded-board ceilings and sunburst corner blocks survive. William G. Harrison, a prominent local attorney and businessman, bought the lot in 1904, built the house, and owned it until his death in 1923. Later owners included J. D. Lester and Eulalie Taylor, who held it for forty-five years. A certified rehabilitation converted it to a law office. It was listed for its architecture, as an exceptionally intact local example of a cottage type that persisted in rural areas after 1900.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house is a good and exceptionally intact example of a turn-of-the-century Queen Anne-type cottage with Folk Victorian detailing. It keeps its original mantels, hardwood floors, beaded-board ceilings and decorative window and door surrounds. Its porch has turned posts, brackets and spindlework.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
