I photographed this house in 2015. As you can see, it was neglected and bad shape. The house has since been demolished.

Glass Grave House-Whitesburg, Georgia
Carroll County
Grave houses, also known as grave shelters, are a Southern burial practice that likely began in the Appalachian Mountains. Like mortsafes, they served a similar purpose to protect the grave from robbers. It also helped protect the burial site from the elements. Most grave houses have disappeared over the years due to the elements eventually deteriorating the wood.
This is the final resting place of Nannie Lambert Glass, who died in 1899, in Whitesburg City Cemetery.
