Downtown Talmo in Jackson County

Th old Gainesville Midland Railroad's Depot is behind the iconic Texaco Station. It was moved there in the 80s or 90s from its trackside spot about 100 yards up the road and to the right. The post office is right behind the filling station. The next two buildings are the older ones. One is a small but good restaurant.

The John and Mary Bond House in Franklin County

It was built between 1885 and 1890. Mary Harber married John Bond in December 1885. The Harbers were among the early settlers to the Pld Federal Road area of the county arriving in 1810 and owning 720 acres. When they were married John received 85 acres as a wedding gift and purchased two other tracts of land. The house was expanded in 1912 giving the front a different look. The farm was awarded a Georgia Centennial Farm in 1995 for being in the same family for at least 100 years. I do not know if that designation is still in place.

The Mansell House and Gardens in Alpharetta

It is a Victorian home that was built in 1910 but currently an event venue filled with period antiques. Charlie Sewell

Somebody left their truck way out in the woods of Clinch County a few years ago.

Discovered in some land clearing today. I wonder what stories this old thing could tell.

The abandoned office of Dunson Mill in LaGrange

The mill was chartered in 1910 by Joseph Dunson and a group of investors. It made industrial fabrics and for a while was the largest textile mill in the state. It was bought by Pepperell in 1952, by the time it closed in 2004 it was West Point Stevens.

Church in Sharon

I found this old church in Sharon last December. I have been able to find absolutely nothing about this church except I think it was called New Hope. I do not even know if it is still active.

Athens Presbyterian Church

It was founded in 1820 on Christmas Day by Dr. Moses Waddell. Age 50 at the time. Dr. Waddell was considered one of the foremost educators in the young country. He had come to Athens to revive UGA, which was languishing badly at that time. The original sanctuary was erected in 1828 on Broad Street at the entrance to the University. The current sanctuary was constructed in 1855-56 and was renovated and remodeled in 1906.There have been additional buildings constructed on the church campus since then, but the sanctuary is still prominent.

An old rebirth in Cedartown

Burned in 2018, the house was bought and is restored by someone who lived there before. There is a dispute on the date of construction but it was built between 1898 and 1910. It was built by a man named Charlie Smith. In 1909, a man named Augustus Young moved to town from nearby Young's Station. He helped start the Commercial Bank and was it's president. He had built a house that is now Lifesey Funeral Home. About a year or so later a friendly disagreement between Young and Smith during a poker game erupted. They each thought the other's house was better than their own. In the end, Augustus challenged Charlie, "if you think my house is better, then I will trade with you". He should not have said that because Charlie agree and deed papers were drawn up. The wives were none too happy but the trade took place.

Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Union County

It was formed in 1867. When it was formed there were not a lot of people in this area. The land was donated and members erected a small building on their own. Later, this sanctuary was constructed, Heavily renovated in the 1970s and a fellowship hall added in the last 10-15 years.
