New National Register listing
The Bond Family House, located on Rock Chapel Road in Lithonia, DeKalb County, was listed in the National Register on September 17, 2008. It was constructed circa 1872 as the home of one of DeKalb County's leading citizens, Eason Jackson Bond (1834-1893), and remained in his family until 1985. The house is significant in architecture as a good example of a Plantation Plain house type - a two-story block at the front and a one-story range of rooms at the rear, and typically has a full-width one-story front porch. This type was mostly a rural phenomenon, and most surviving examples date from circa 1820 to 1850. This portion of DeKalb County was a rural farming community in the 1870s, and a house of this size would have stood apart from many of the rest. It is believed that the wood used in the house was milled at the Bond family lumber mill.
