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.

I photographed these through the broken windows. The mantels were removed.
With the roof breached, this house will deteriorate quicker.

Haw Pond School-Crisp County, Georgia

Crisp County

This school sits next to newer Haw Pond Baptist Church. As it has been slowly deteriorating over the years, I expect it will fall within the next year.

R. A. Bedgood marker-Arabi, Georgia

Located in the Arabi-Antioch Cemetery is the marker of R. A. Bedgood. The town of Arabi is named after R. A. B. (yes, I know). I love the details in his suitcoat with the the buttons and chain.
