The Cherry Cottage in Washington

So named for the cherry trees that used to be on the property and still may be. There is no record of it's exact date of construction but the lot was bought in 1784 by Constantine Church. Several sources place it as extant in 1819 so it is at least that old, making it one of the oldest existing structures in the county. The house has been for sale for quite awhile now and the Georgia Trust has placed it on their endangered structure list.
