- Located at: Liberty Street and Washington Street, Milledgeville, Ga.
Built by slave laborers for Peter J. Williams, the two-story wood frame house with a raised basement features a narrow portico, supported by two Doric columns that shade the balcony and entrance. The columns project beyond the porch floor, and the piers are corbelled out to accomodate them. Irregularities in the columns suggest that they are tree trunks. The Homestead is the oldest of the houses in Milledgeville having a narrow two-columned portico and retains the original boxwood gardens and wisteria planted by its first mistress. A porch spans the back of the house. Originally, the dining room also spanned the back of the house, 55 feet, with fire places at each end. It is characterized as Milledgeville Federal.
