Folsom, Georgia, is an unincorporated town in Bartow County, Georgia. A post office was established in 1886 and discontinued in 1917. Interestingly, the town is named after Frances Folsom Cleveland, the wife of Grover Cleveland and the youngest first lady in history. (She married Cleveland at the age of 21 in the White House.)

This I-House is a complete mystery. The plot maps and tax records do not include a house on the land, and my usual sources for building history have not been helpful. My friend Brian thinks it was moved there. I asked in a Facebook group, and one person knows it has been there for at least thirty years.

I spent time staring at the house’s facade. While it’s been heavily modified, it reminds me of the Higdon Hotel in Reliance, Tennessee. The bars on the lower windows made me wonder if the first floor was a store and the second floor was the living quarters.

Updated: Audrey Franklin shared that this used to be the Adcock House. The family ran a store on the first floor and lived on the second floor. Still not sure why this building doesn’t show on tax records, but it’s at least less of a mystery now.
