Hill, A. P., House
Also known as: Rosetty,Peter,House
Why it's listed
This one-story brick bungalow on North Washington Street in Clarkesville, Georgia, was built in 1930 for A. P. Hill and his wife's family. It was patterned after the house next door, with minor changes in details and the floor plan reversed. The house has a central hall plan and several gables facing the street. Craftsman details include brackets, exposed rafter ends, stucco patterns in the gables and decorative attic vents. Double-hung windows have multiple long, narrow panes in the upper sash and single panes below. Alterations are minimal, limited to added metal awnings, and the house is in good condition and remains a residence. Its significance rests on architecture at the local level. It is considered an excellent intact example of the early twentieth century Craftsman bungalow, with low massing, asymmetrical gables and brick construction. Its linear floor plan also anticipates the ranch house that later became the popular medium-priced American home.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house is an excellent, intact example of an early 20th century Craftsman-style bungalow. Its low massing, asymmetrical arrangement of gables, brick construction, stuccoed gables and Craftsman detailing are cited as characteristic. Its linear floor plan is also described as suggestive of the ranch house that later succeeded the bungalow.

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.
