William Olliff Farm-Adabelle, Georgia
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, William Olliff built the house for his family in 1872. The late Victorian farmhouse with Italianate details is a rare find in rural Georgia. It’s located near Register and Adabelle.

Folk Victorian-Bleckley County, Georgia

Dogtrot-Dublin, Georgia
A dogtrot house consists of two rooms, one for living and sleeping. The other was used for cooking and dining. The large central breezeway would help circulate air during the hot summer months. The name dogtrot stuck because dogs (and other animals) could run through the open-air space with ease.
