I don’t know if this site is still managed but I’m a descendant of the family that started this town and have been trying to locate the nearest historical society to Acree, GA
Thronateeska in Albany is the only one I know that might be able to help: https://heritagecenter.org/explore/south-ga-archives
Hi Brian, This house looks almost like an old church. Really looks large. Great architecture too. Hope it is still there. Thanks
This house burned down just a while back if I remember correctly.
Thanks. I was hoping not!
I go by where this house stood everyday and yes, it did burn down. When I went by, it looked like maybe the owners had allowed the fire department to burn it. They did not appear to try to put it out. So sad. I liked the house. It had simple character.
Have you photographed the old jail in Isabella?
No, but I’d like to. Is it easy to find?
The old jail is stil there in Isabella. I passed it two days ago, untouched by the hurricanes.
The old jail is just across the scrap yard from the Shiba store. The scrap yard was the county school bus shop until about 10 years ago. Before that it was the courthouse square, as Isabella was previously the seat of Worth county. The square is still an ally more or less. The old jail is pretty much just ruins, and very overgrown now.
This house is still standing….it’s located right next to the store
Thanks! I want to rephotograph it soon.
Acree is a village on the Worth-Dougherty County line so the house might be in Worth. It’s an east or west of the County Line Road situation.
I believe this is on the Dougherty side Randall. But I can’t be sure. A friend’s mother lived nearby at one time. I just wish I’d gotten more photographs. Little remains there, though.
