Small House

The Small House is a Greek Revival residence in Macon featuring symmetrical design and classical architectural details from that era. It displays prominent columns and evenly spaced windows that emphasize its structural balance.

Architect Elias Carter designed this house during a period when Greek Revival was the preferred building style for American residences. The structure was built in an era when this European-inspired architectural ideal dominated residential construction.

The residence shows how homeowners in Georgia embraced classical design elements and incorporated them into their living spaces. This choice reflected the broader trend of bringing European architectural ideals into American domestic buildings.

The residence is privately owned but is documented through the National Register of Historic Places for research and study. Information about viewing access and current conditions can be found through the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office database.

Although it functions as a private residence, this building earned inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit. This dual nature makes it a rare example where personal living space coexists with official historical recognition.
