Dinglewood House, NRHP-listed house on Dinglewood St. in Columbus, Georgia, United States
Dinglewood House is an Italianate residence at 1429 Dinglewood St. in Columbus, Georgia, built in 1858 for Joel Early Hurt's wife Frances and daughter Julia. The drawings came from the Columbus firm Barringer & Morton. Visitors can spot French windows, overhanging eaves with decorative brackets, and a Classical Revival entrance with Corinthian columns.
The house was built in 1858 by wealthy businessman Joel Early Hurt, who cultivated cotton and wheat on nearby land. Following Hurt's death shortly after the Civil War, the residence remained in family hands, serving various purposes as a boarding house and family home before being added to the National Register in 1972.
The house bears the Dinglewood name and continues to define the character of the surrounding neighborhood through its granite pillars and winding drives. The area shows how a large estate gradually transformed into a residential community with homes from multiple periods.
Dinglewood House stands at 1429 Dinglewood St. in Columbus, Georgia, so use the street address rather than the neighbourhood name to locate it. The house sits on Dinglewood Street itself, and the address number is the surest way to pick out the correct property.
The original owner's daughter Julia married lawyer and officer Peyton Colquitt, who died from wounds suffered during the Civil War. Years later his remains were returned to the family and his uniform is now preserved in a local museum.
