The Crescent Farm, near Canton, Georgia on Georgia State Route 5 southeast of Georgia State Route 140, is a historic property that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The listing includes two contributing buildings (the house and the barn/stable) and a non-contributing structure, on Шаблон:Convert.[1]

Description

The farm's two-story Georgian Revival house, built in 1922 and known as Edgewater Hall or A.L. Coggins House, is situated on Mt. Etowah and overlooks the Etowah River, which forms a crescent shape around the original Шаблон:Convert property.[2] The house was designed by Atlanta architect Francis P. Smith (1886-1971).[3][2] The house was renovated considerably in 1986 when it was converted for use by the Cherokee Federal Savings Bank.[2]

Separated from the house by Georgia State Route 5 is the associated rock and brick barn, built in 1906 as a stable for race horses. The barn was built after a fire destroyed its wooden predecessor, killing valuable race horses.[4] The barn was built from rock quarried by the Etowah River, and with bricks in its gable level;[2] it has a stepped gable at the front.[5] The property also had a one-mile track used for harness racing.[2] Crescent Farm was known for its racehorses raised by A.L. Coggins. Abbedale (1917-1950)[6] was the farm's most famous racehorse, and went on to sire six pacers with two-minute mile records.[4]
