This landmark antebellum farmhouse is in largely original condition. Because of its lack of modification, it’s one of the most important houses in the area.
Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to locate much about the early history of the house. Local lore suggests that Mr. Walcott wasn’t the original owner but that he was the man most associated with the house and making improvements to the surrounding farmland. Though it’s in need of stabilization, the overall condition of the house is good.
Lovely old home. Are they trying to restore it?
This house is on our land we recently purchased. It sits in front of a pecan orchard. We will be building in the back of that orchard.
It’s a great old house, Michelle. I hope ya’ll will be able to at least save it!
Did you ever find out what they intended to do with the house ? Beautiful old place, though sad. I so appreciate the record you are leaving of a time gone by. Thank you for sharing.
I just love old homes.They come with their own history,as well as being a part of American history.I own a 1930 bungalow in central Illinois.During its years not much had been updated,with that in mind both the plumbing,as well as the toilets etc suggest 1920.I’ve looked on old newspaper that a baby boy was born in my home.
Have since viewed your Long County photos. Spectacular work. May i suggest if you are back our way to take photo in Jones Creek Church Cemetary of the 14 infant graves there lined up in a perfect row. All born to same father, 2 mothers. Late 1800’s. great mystery?? 14 dead children one by one ?? Father NS Delk and mothers Harriet L and Catherine Delk. I do not believe this could be found in the whole country??? As to Henry Walcott house , feel free to contact me for more info if wanted. thanks, great work !!!
Thanks, Wendell. Will do.
Suppose you know some history of this old great house. It was lived in by original owner and then by Mr. walcott later who worked very hard to farm and maintain property. Great photos. Very haunting. Thanks, i live about 3 miles away from.
Wendell, thanks for your comments. I really don’t know anything about the house, except for what people have said here. Would like to know more, of course. It’s a great old house!
Great pics, they just envoke a timeless, sad feeling of loss – the fog just adds to the mystery of the House, waiting for the old truck to drive up the dirt road, and the family to step out of the front seat, the children spilling out of the back bed. …into the House they’d run, each to their own rooms, the mama would put away the groceries and begin preparing the old stove for supper…(I could go on and on lol)
My husband’s family is from Monroe county namely, Juliette GA. Plenty of old houses in that area.
being an antique dealer, seeing beautiful old homes like this going down just breaks my heart…:(..
Beautiful!…but somehow, it’s almost sad…
Beautiful photos !
An awesome house, I’m sure was an even more awesome home for someones family. The fog enhances it even more. I enjoy seeing atmosphere in photos and paintings.
Nice series wish I was there.
Great pictures. They make you feel like you are actually there. Almost surreal.
Beautiful old house. With a little TLC it would come alive again. Great photos. The fog didn’t take anything away from your great photos.
I love this old house. With a little TLC it would come alive again. Great Pictures even though it’s foggy.
awesome pics!
Really captured the spirit of the south in these photos
Brian, I sure enjoy your photographs. I wonder if you would consider posting the GPS coordinates of your finds so that we can go see them in person?

It breaks my heart to see this in ruins. Sure wish somebody had interest to restore
What a great old place; awesome photography!
