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.
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.
According to tax records, this home was built in 1830. According to a local architect historian, this home started as a log cabin and updated to this Folk Victorian. It’s located in Farmington, Georgia.
The main living area is completely exposed. I am told that the surrounding community fills the room with a lit manger scene at Christmas.
