The Building at 1619 Third Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, is a Victorian shotgun cottage. It was built around 1889 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

It was home to lower to middle-income black workers in Columbus. By 1896, it was home to George W. Walls, a dyer for Eagle and Phenix Mills. By 1898, it was home for Mack Culver and his wife; Culver was a fireman for the Central of Georgia Railroad. By 1900, it was home to William Hines, another worker at Eagle and Phenix, and his wife, Clara.[2]

Its front porch includes some gingerbreading attached to its chamfered columns as a nod by the builder to popular styles.[2] Its National Register listing was within a batch of numerous Columbus properties determined to be eligible consistent with a 1980 study of historic resources in Columbus.[3]
