This tenant farmhouse is an iconic example of the so-called “Cracker” style. Like many such houses, it features a preacher’s room at the front and shed room at the rear. Gail Charles notes that Willie Finch and his family lived here about 60 years ago.
Thank you ….love it !!!
Just down the road from our farm on Rosemary Church Road , Metter, Ga….visited the Finch’s there many times!
Mr. Willie Finch and his family lived here about 60 years ago.
Thanks for sharing, Gail!
Yum, Here is a picture from the Historical Concepts studio, “Classic Cracker” is one of their favorites for the vernacular styles they do so well. The book is beat up from frequent use. http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/6769118177/
There are some houses like this one in the city of Fitzgerald, I never knew they were called cracker houses. This is the first time I’ve ever heard that. Thanks for the history lesson.
