Historic Houses in Their Landscaped Settings, the Folk Victorian style was extremely popular in Georgia from the 1870s through the 1910s and is characterized by a simple house form with Victorian-era decorative detailing. The Davis-Proctor House retains its Georgian Cottage form and floor plan with a central hall flanked by two rooms on either side and exterior and interior character-defining features. The one-and-a-half-story, frame house has a multi-gable, complex roof with decorative shingles in the gables. The wrap porch has decorative spindlework, brackets, and turned posts and balustrade. The house sits on brick piers with brick infill. The symmetrical front faade has a central entrance with original door and transom.

What was healthcare like for African Americans during enslavement in Georgia? Savannah and Augusta established hospitals for blacks prior to the Civil War. Some large plantations on the Georgia coast maintained slave hospitals. When the Civil War ended, the Freedmen's Bureau established a medical department in Georgia that provided healthcare to freed people in major Georgia cities, but when these services ended in 1869, there were limited healthcare options.
