Built by Barney Averitt using lumber from his sawmill, this home features a variety of pine, oak, and maple floors. The brick was likely added in the early 20th century, when it was remodeled to its present Colonial Revival appearance. It’s now owned by Helen Cannon and home to Georgia’s Bed and Breakfast, a popular Statesboro inn.
I as a Averitt new my family traveled far and wide. This was nice to see.
I wonder if the Averitt family was related to the Percy Averitt family. I believe that their house is on Zetterower Avenue in Statesboro.
Represents, to me, the “new” South. I’m quite familiar with this architectural style from the Florida Panhandle as well as South Georgia.
