This Folk Victorian cottage once served as the Methodist Parsonage for the Twin City United Methodist Church. It now serves as the pre-school for the church.

The Spookiest House-Georgia
I am most frequently asked about the location of this house. I decided to do a more dramatic edit of it.
It is not vacant. If you are able to determine where this house is, do not trespass.
You can see the original photos here.
Vaughn-Webb House-Reliance, Tennessee
Overlooking Highway 30 in Reliance, Tennessee is the oldest structure in the historic district. Built in 1888, this folk Victorian sits in an enviable position of being surrounded by the mountains while being able to see the Hiwassee River. The Vaughn and Webb families were integral to the small town. They ran the local convenience store and post office. (Sadly, I was unable to get a photo of the store. It was surrounded by dozens of motorcyclists and dozens of cars. I avoid these in my photos.)
The information I can find online about this house does not mention that the Victorian ornamentation was added later. It appears this house started as an I-House (plantation plain) with a later addition of the two-level porch and the detailing.
Methodist Parsonage-Madison, Georgia
Built in 1902, this home used to serve as the Methodist parsonage.
The Winter House-Madison, Georgia
Also known as “The Pink House,” the Winter House was built in 1896 as a Georgian cottage with Victorian influences, as shown in the porch’s millwork. It was named after Judge Albert H. Winter, who lived here from 1914 to 1940. He was the last surviving Confederate veteran in Morgan County.
The Restoration of the Foster-Thomason-Miller-Minnix House-Madison, Georgia
Madison was the first place I visited after moving back to Atlanta ten years ago. I pulled over immediately when I saw this house. If you love old houses, you understand why I needed to take a photo. It was dilapidated, yet beautiful, due to years of neglect and a fire that severely damaged it. In 2018, the Madison-Morgan Conservancy purchased the hosue and stabalized it. The Minnix family purchased it, and they are almost done with the full restoration. I was able to see this home in the Fall Ramble of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.
