This is similar to another house in Hawkinsville known as the Columns of Georgia, but I don’t know anything about it yet.
Neoclassical Revival House, Hawkinsville
Vanishing Georgia: Photographs by Brian Brown
Since 2008. A visual survey of Georgia's historic architecture and culture. 9,000 locations. 30,000 images.
I attended kindergarten in this house in 1962-3. It was owned by the Linders at that time. Even as a kid I noticed that this house must have been a mansion in olden days. Those ugly square columns up now replaced those magnificent classic round ones there before.
I would love to buy this house and restore it to its former glory. Is the house and property even for sale?
Currently this house is being renovated. This house is right next door to one my business, Handyman Services, has been hired to make improvements on. It is also picture, The McAllister House.
When I ride through Hawkinsville sometimes I ride by to look at this house. To me this is a grand house and I can imagine sitting on that porch in summertime. Thanks for sharing your travels.
It’s almost a sin for folks to let these old beautiful icons sit and rot. Just a shame.
What’s worse, is that if they offered to sell it to me for $2.00, I couldn’t afford it because the restoration costs would be monumental! So sad…
That is the very reason why they sit and rot. Restoration costs are exorbitant.
You would be happy to know that this house is being restored. My business is going to look at some work to bid on today.
Looks like it might have been an expansion of an earlier vernacular house? Please publish more info when you have it. Sadly dilapidated. Do you know of any plans for restoration?
The owners have been restoring from the inside out….hopefully one day it will be completed
