Ashland Farm in Walker County, Georgia, near Rossville, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[1]

The property has six contributing buildings. The main house, built in 1905, situated on a hill, is a two-story brick house designed by Atlanta architect W.T. Downing. It has a monumental Classical Revival portico with 12 fluted Corinthian columns. It has 16 bays of windows across the front facade.^[2]

The brick was made in St. Louis, and is rust-colored and non-porous with "a hard-fired, dull ceramic quality" that, together with careful brick placement and mortaring, achieved "an extremely smooth exterior surface."^[2]

The other buildings include two brick servants' cottages, a barn, a mill, a gas house, and an open wagon shelter for a Conestoga wagon. The barn is made of brick laid in American bond. The exterior of the mill was designed by Malcom Chishom in 1929; its interior was moved from Peeler Mill on Peavine Creek near Ringgold. The gas house, later used as a smoke house, stored gas used for the lighting of the buildings.^[2]
