I photographed this farmhouse five years ago and that same ladder was propped against the window then.

Vanishing Georgia: Photographs by Brian Brown
Since 2008. A visual survey of Georgia's historic architecture and culture. 9,000 locations. 30,000 images.
We were delighted to see those Marion County, GA sites. We lived and worked there for a number of years. One of my husband’s relatives lived beside the old Masonic lodge known as Mr. Barney’s store in Tazewell; another lived on the other side in an old house (since renovated) that was a tavern years ago. We still have friends in Buena Vista. We may have to go back to renew friendship and memories.
Somewhere we have a copy of “Rural America” from National Geographic. It is not a new book, but it too celebrates traditional sites including Buena Vista.
Keep up the good work.
