In researching this house, the city of Savannah has identified it as historic, but I could not find much information on it. It was built in 1873 and is a rare Second Empire home. Based on archived newspapers and census records, I have found two families associated with the address, the Fergusons and the Bryants. At times, rooms for rent were advertised. If you know any more info, please share.
I took this photo in March 2023 during a downpour as I was heading to Statesboro for work. I assumed incorrectly that the home was being renovated because there was a dumpster to the right and the materials in the front yard. According to Brian Brown, the Lee House, as he identified it, was burned due to a controlled burn.
This Queen Anne Farmhouse was built in 1905. The crosses in the double chimneys are an interesting touch.
This is the home of Gustavus James Nash Wilson. The photo of his home was featured at the front of his book about Jackson County, Georgia titled, The Early History of Jackson County, Georgia (1914).
This image was featured at the front of the book, and when I found out it was still standing, I knew I had to photograph it eventually. Built in 1886, the home has been modified over the years, but it still has some of the early details.
Edward Hollingsworth designed and built the home in 1886. it was purchased by local dentist, Charles Gunn. He willed the home to his daughter, Carolyn Bellenger, who lived there until her death in 1990. She donated the property to city, and it is now used as an event venue.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This Queen Anne home was built in 1901.
