This was among the first houses I photographed in Irwin County, nearly eight years ago when Vanishing South Georgia was just a concept. Thanks to Jason Thomas for the identification. He notes that Percy Gordon Thomas (1908-1970) lived here until his death. It’s been abandoned since then. The front porch roof was still attached (barely) in the image above, from four years ago:
Wouldnit be possible for me to get a black and white copy of this to have framed? I can remember as a child stringing up tobacco in this house which belonged to my family. Thank you!
This particular house was owned by Percy Thomas. He lived there until his death in the early 1970’s.
Thanks, Jason. I’ve always admired this place!
He actually hadn’t lived there for sometime. He lived up the road in the big white house.
really enjoy all the pictures and info. you post.. Thanks
