Overview

This historic gem of a home is the only one of its kind on what was coined as ''Officer's Row''. It was crafted and designed for the Commander of the post and his family. This historic home is the most ornamented and lavish of all the original homes on Barnhardt Circle! The amount of elaborate decoration and highly detailed woodwork throughout the home, and on the bay on the left elevation, are truly stunning! Moreover, this home still preserves many of its original features and even fixtures, as it has been lovingly owned by the same family for over 50 years. Barnhardt Circle is situated in Fort Oglethorpe, at the heart of what was known at the time as ''Sargent's Row'', which served as an Army post when it was first opened in 1904. This post was without a doubt considered the "largest and finest" cavalry post in the nation during this time. It housed approximately 50 commissioned officers, 1,200 enlisted men, and 1,500 horses. Out of all the high-ranking officers' homes situated on "Sargent's Row", 205 Barnhardt was by far the most distinguished of them all; it was customized to serve as the "Commanding Officer's Quarters", which was the highest-ranking officer on post. This marvelous home is nestled directly across from a gorgeous open field that served as parade grounds and a Polo field, and it also has a direct view of the original and restored "Band Stand". Given the home's uniqueness, its architectural highlights include Neoclassical as well as Queen Anne features, not seen in any other home on Barnhardt Circle; these include a Queen Ann canted bay window on one side, and a temple front. The embellishments include cornice dental moldings, a turned porch balustrade with paired columns set on plinths, and eave brackets. Just past the magnificent front porch, you will step into the vestibule which opens up to the stair hall; here you can catch your first glimpse of a hand crafted and well adorned main staircase.
