I must have walked a million miles on the brick wall around this house! I wish you had gotten some pictures of the inside, it’s beautiful.
Curious to know if this is where my dad had Rees Park Chapel, funeral home back in late 40’s to mid 50’s era. It was across from the park and the old middle school I went to, and next door to Billy and Lucille Smith. We lived above the first floor. Oddly, I have photos of it, but no way there was that round turret with 3rd story on the house back then. Maybe it’s a different house, but looks the same for for addition on left side and the turret. Comments welcomed! Great posts with all photos from Georgia. Thank you!!!
Sue,
That’s not the same house. This house is on S Lee Street not Rees Park.
My grandmother Tommie Smith lived here as the ward of David Wilson and his wife Alberina (Anna) Shiver Wilson until her marriage to Wendell Council Pnillps in 1910.
No, Rees park chapel is now Aldridge funeral home. Still stands in the same spot
The house you are talking about is still there. It is now Aldridge funeral home. Hancock funeral home is over on the corner of college Street and Lee street.
My Grandmother and Grandfather Frank P Harrold lived in Americus..Son of Uriah B Harrold..7 bedrooms, 7 kids..
Did Uriah Harrold build the house that housed Hancock Funeral Home?
Beautiful! Type of architecture I admire.
