This vernacular house, which I suspect may have been older than its appearance here would suggest, was torn down some time in 2012. Susan McDaniel notes that it was the home of a Mrs. Kirkland who taught school in Alma, and was well-maintained while she lived here.
The KIrkland house was across the street from my granddaddy’s barber shop. Mr. Kirkland, known as “Geech”, was a retired engineer, I believe, with the state of GA. He was rather small-framed and always dressed immaculately with seersucker striped pants, white shirt and straw hat (in summertime). He wore wire-rim glasses and a big smile. 🙂
This house belonged to Mrs. Kirkland, who taught school in Alma. It was very, very old and in good shape when she lived there.
Her name was Mrs. Mac Kirkland and she also taught school in Nicholls….8th grade to be exact.
