Built in 1857 by Hurtsboro founder Joel Hurt, Sr. and his wife, Lucy Long Hurt, this home was supplied with lumber from their saw mill near Hurtsboro Creek, and it stood as the town grew and flourished with the addition of the Mobile & Girard Railroad. One of the Hurts' eleven children, Joel Hurt, Jr., lived here as a child and later played a major role in the architectural development of Atlanta, Georgia. The one story Greek Revival asymmetrical house has an expansive front porch with nine columns and a connecting north porch with three columns. It received significant updating and Edwardian decoration in 1906, including an ornate varnished entrance portal with double doors, and its elegant central hallway features a pressed tin covered ceiling and walls accented with paired ionic wood columns on paneled bases connected by carved wood valences. Fully renovated in 2002 while preserving its unique charm and architecture, the home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
