Architectural Style: Classical Revival
"The Col. William T. Roberts House, a restrained example of
the Classical Revival style, is a two-story, wood frame house,
built on the central hall, four-over-four room plan. It features
two side porches and a full width, one-story front porch with a
second story, covered balcony. The original wood exterior of the
house has recently been covered with aluminum siding; the porches
and railings remain wood. There is pressed metal scrollwork over
the front entrance portico and original balusters on all porches.
The house rests on a 1.5 acre lot with extensive landscaping. It
is located in a residential neighborhood in the small county-seat
town of Douglasville.
" ... the Roberts House is a good example, as the
dwelling house built by one of the "most important people in
town", of the use of the Classical Revival style when it was
built in 1901. The style's use is very restrained on the
exterior, reflected only in its overall massing and some
classical motifs on the portico and the porches. " ~ NRHP Nomination Form
