The house has no features to show that it was built by a Cherokee. This design reflects the attitude of Ridge that had adapted to the American way of life by abandoning indigenous customs.

Major Ridge (1771 - 1839) was a Cherokee leader who was noted for:

  • He was a member of the tribal council and legislator.
  • He supported acculturation.
  • He became a wealthy planter, slave owner, and boatman in Georgia.
  • He signed the passage of the controversial New Echota Treaty of 1835, which handed over the Cherokee territory to the United States government.
  • He was sentenced to death and murdered in 1839 under the Cherokee Blood Act.

Regarding the house Ridge lived in, it is a two-story white log home located on his 223-acre plantation on Cha.tillon, Rome, Georgia.

This house differs greatly from the structure of the traditional houses of the Cherokee culture because they were built in the shape of a pyramid with a circular base covered with leather made from animal skins.
