John Clark McCall, Jr., writes: This house was built by my great aunt and uncle, Lamar and Willie Maude (“Bill”) Brantley. I ran across the actual plan and elevation of the house in a House and Garden Magazine of the early twenties. The plan was advertised by the American Brick Association. I have a copy somewhere! The house built by my aunt and uncle follows the plan very faithfully. The house was constructed by H.L. McCaskill, a noted builder in Sandersville, GA. I have fond memories of summers spent in Tennille and of the Brantleys. Having no children of their own, they nurtured me and created a wonderful environment for vacations. My aunt was organist at Tennille First Baptist Church, which of course, is a famous Choate design.
As a child I have ALwAyS loved passing this house. I’d ALwAyS say, “That’s”MY” house”! Still today, I am 57 now and still admire this house every time I pass by {EVERYDAY}! The owner now has changed the color of it with a sage/celery w/grayish painted bricks. And, it is STiLL wonderful wonderful to watch as I pass by. Just wish I had the blueprint! So I can see and imagine the inside design.
