Rumble House-Smarr, Georgia

I was looking for information on this house on Rumble Road in Smarr and came across this photo. Does anyone know where it was? I am guessing it was on, or very near Rumble Road.

Here is the info from the Digital Library of Georgia, “near Smarr, 1910. Home of Woodbridge Rumble(1845-1894). Mr Rumble, son of Henry Rumble, built his home. Woodbridge Rumble married Josephine Richardson (1849-1931) who was the granddaughter of Gabriel Packs, pioneer.
