Price, R. H. and Martha, House

Why it's listed
This one-story wood-frame house at 209 E. 10th Street in Georgetown was built around 1880 for R. H. and Martha Price. It follows a T plan and is covered in weatherboard siding under a hip roof with composition shingles. Box eaves carry dentil-like woodwork and scrolled consoles, and three interior brick chimneys have corbeled caps. Porches with hip roofs flank the front wing, with box supports, heavy stick brackets forming elliptical arches, jigsawn pendants and a turned wood balustrade. A five-sided bay projects from the front, and openings have scrolled brackets supporting large hood molds. The house rests on limestone blocks, and a concrete block engraved with the name Price sits in the front yard. It stands among mostly late nineteenth-century dwellings and remains in residential use, in fair condition with few alterations. It was recorded as a rare Georgetown example of a T-plan dwelling, notable for architecture and Eastlake interior detailing.
Significance in brief: The inventory form describes it as a rare example of a T-plan dwelling in Georgetown, with primary significance in architecture. It also notes Eastlake interior design.

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.
