Note:
A detailed agreement between Holt and Archibald D. Williams fully documents Holt’s expansion of an existing plantation house into a large dwelling with all the Holt hallmarks—which still stands. The document serves as a Rosetta stone for other Holt attributions. The porch shown in the photograph was reconstructed in the restoration.
