I’m trying to locate a history of this magnificent survivor. It’s located on land that’s recently been clear-cut, near Reidsville. There is no public access to the house but I was able to photograph it from a nearby road, thanks to a long lens. From what I can discern, it’s a large I-House (or Plantation Plain) with double the normal depth for that style in this area. Most likely, it was built just before or just after the Civil War.
Could you provide the street from which you photographed this house?
It saddens me to see this great house falling apart. It was someone’s home, probably a few children born there, growing up, playing, laughing….and now it’s gone. Left to fall down. So sad.
Did you contact the State HIstoric Preservation Office to find out if there is a survey of Tattnall County?
I haven’t yet.
If you provide what street you were on I’m pretty sure I can tell you my family comes from a chunk of that land and cross breed with the plantation owner in tatnall county (404)432-5710
