Stanley’s Store-Toombs County, Georgia

This post has been updated to show that Brian Brown identified it as a tenant farmhouse and Stanley’s Store.

McAllister House and Cemetery-Long Pond, Georgia

The house and cemetery are located across the street from each other in Long Pond, Georgia. The McAllister family is one of the original families of the area.

I understand that the gabled ell farmhouse is one of two houses on the property. The other is apparently the original log cabin.

The gate leads into the cemetery.

Gold & Grass Farms-Ball Ground, Georgia

Cherokee County

Gold & Grass Farms- That’s the sign you see from the road, but this is the last remaining building from the Creighton/Franklin Gold Mine in Ball Ground, Georgia. Built in 1890, the “Shingle House” served the area as a commissary, post office, and a boarding house.
