Actually the Globe Tavern was on the corner where the Sutton’s Corner Museum is now. When the Tavern burned, Mrs Gainer asked for the Globe that had marked the Inn. The globe is now in the museum.
I’m not having any luck finding out anything about the house. A date of 1820 on the front porch may refer to the date the Globe Tavern (which burned about 1873) was built. It’s very confusing. I hope to find out more soon, Fred.
Do you know if the date of 1820 on the house is the date of the house or of the Globe, which burned down? That sign is a bit confusing. And I can’t locate the walking tour brochure of Fort Gaines that was once online.

Thank you. The record was a bit confusing.
Does anyone know the name of the “Gainer” whose name is on the house.

House served as the first telephone office for Fort Gaines.
