This was built as a one-story house but was expanded by Dr. Madison Monroe Holland (1860-1914) Holland in 1908 to accommodate his medical practice. Statesboro didn’t have a hospital at the time and the house served that purpose. Holland was one of Statesboro’s first doctors and briefly owned the Statesboro Drug Store, as well.

There was also a Dr. Holland who was an eye doctor. He prescribed my first pair of reading glasses. His office was next door to this house, just before the College Pharmacy.
I am very familiar with the Holland House. It was a beautiful property when I was living in Statesboro.
