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.
