R. A. Bedgood House-Arabi, Georgia
The R. A. Bedgood House was the home to the namesake for Arabi, Georgia (R-A-B). Brian Brown of Vanishing Georgia has documented this house twice (here and here), and it is sad to see the slow demolition by neglect. While these photos were taken in early spring, you can see how overgrown and unmanageable the growth is.
Outside of an impressive house, Bedgood has an incredible marker on his cemetery plot.
