This is a difficult house to photograph, as it’s always shaded by an old oak tree growing in the middle of the road just in front of the structure. It’s a landmark out past the Madray Springs community off Georgia Highway 169.
Central Hallway Farmhouse, Wayne County
The Tree in front of this house is so nice…It is not in the pic but the photogragher will remember it!
Chandra–I totally agree! I love that old tree…wish I could incorporate it into a shot. Perhaps sometime soon…I don’t think the house will remain much longer..
Very near my farm in Odum.
interesting. In the 30’s-40’s, my grandparents (Ganey’s) farmed in Odum and Blackshear. They were basically sharecropping. I recall they worked for a Colonel Collins for a time on a large farm. Before my G’dad and father passed away, I recall visiting a house like the one described back in the early 1980’s. that house had been abandoned for years even then, but my Dad remembered living there. It was near a curve on a dirt road and had a central opening/hallway just like this one.
The old house is on Collins loop. It looked a bit better in the 1980’s than it does today.
