9791 State Route 124 (House), 9791 State Route 124, Braselton, Jackson County, GA

Significance: This residence is a contributing historic resource in the existing Braselton National Register of Historic Places District and represents the early twentieth century modest residential dwellings being constructed in Braselton at that time. Constructed ca. 1930, this house is a good representative example of the Bungalow house type with Craftsman elements. The bungalow house type was popular in all regions of Georgia between 1900 and 1930, both in rural areas and all sizes of municipalities. The Craftsman style was the most popular early twentieth century style in Georgia. The Craftsman style was a break with the popular revivals of historical styles and a movement toward the modern house. Craftsman styles were built across the state in rural, small town, and urban settings from the 1910s through the 1930s. The character-defining features of the Craftsman style included a low-pitched roof that is usually
gabled but may also be hipped, widely overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, decorative brackets or braces at the eaves, porches with short square columns set on piers, and windows with a multi-paned sash over a large one-pane sash.
The historic setting of this residence also exemplifies a common landscape type found in Braselton during the historic period known as the ornamental yard. Generally self-contained and situated along a high point of the ground, the character-defining features of the ornamental yard associated with the residence include its elevated
site, grass yard, and foundation plantings.
