William Jones House, Circa 1900, Sapelo Island

An old, weathered wooden cabin surrounded by lush greenery and hanging Spanish moss.

This is among the older surviving houses in the Hog Hammock community. It’s an iconic vernacular winged-gable cottage and should be preserved if possible. Sadly, it has begun to collapse and will likely be lost. The list Cornelia Walker Bailey gave me had it identified as the William Jones House. I’m unsure if this was also “Bill” Jones (1880-1935) who is buried in Behavior Cemetery.

    Another great post. Thank you so much for documenting this history before it does disappear. I’m going to Jekyll Island in a few weeks. Is there anything you know of that I should seek out?
