|The Herman and Allene Shaver House is significant in the area of architecture at the local level under National Register Criterion C because the 1936 house is an outstanding example of a rustic-style seasonal residence in rural Georgia. The rustic style, which was seldom built in Georgia, derives from the 19th-century work of Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, and H. H. Richardson, who were inspired by the landscape and used natural forms and materials to replace expected architectural details. The rustic style is characterized by the use of oversize rocks and boulders and hewn and unhewn logs. The style is closely associated with the dozens of camps that were built for wealthy industrialists in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Among the most influential builders in the New York area was William West Durant, who built numerous rustic-style camps in the last quarter ofthe 19th century. Among his best-known camps are Sagamore, Camp Uncas, and Camp Pine Knot, all built on Racquette Lake in Hamilton County, New York. Later, the rustic style was used extensively by the Civilian Conservation Corps in state and national parks, most famously in the lodges at western national parks, such as Glacier and Yellowstone.
