	Image: jlc0765 (Click on thumbnail to view larger image.)   Name of structure/feature: High Gate (Augusta, Ga.) Architect/Landscape architect: Goodrich, Lewis Ford Former owners and contributors: Nesbitt, Hugh | Nesbitt, Eleanor O'Keefe | Starnes, Mary Anne Nesbitt | Starnes, Val | Starnes, Hugh | Scott, T. K. Colonel | Cohen, C. Henry, Mrs. Description: Located at 820 Milledge Road, Augusta, Ga.   Two-story wood frame house on a foundation of stuccoed brick, featuring a one-story porch with entablature supported by square Doric inspired columns. A recessed portico on the side of the house is supported by the columns of the same design. The porch is enclosed by a wooden balustrade and the deck above the porch is enclosed by a delicate wrought iron railing. Such railings also adorn the window above the projecting first-floor side bay window. The back porch has slender columns, a unique stairway with a curved silhouette and an arched ceiling over it, and large-scale adjustable louvers. Hugh Nesbitt built the house in 1810, and it was owned by his wife Eleanor O'Keefe Nesbitt after his death in 1828 until 1838, when the property passed to their daughter, Mary Anne Nesbitt Starnes, who owned it until 1874. Her sons Hugh and Val Starnes owned the property from 1874 to 1910, when it was sold to Colonel T. K. Scott. The Nesbitts hired Goodrich, architect and builder, in the 1850s to build the south wing and remodel the old part to the north. The name High Gate was given by Mrs. C. Henry Cohen for the tall wrought iron gates she installed. For more information see Linley, John. The Georgia Catalog: Historic American Buildings Survey.
