Among the houses I’ve encountered in Georgia, this is an unusual form of the Queen Anne style. Dale Reddick writes: Folks from around the Girard area are saying this was the home of Mr. Frank and Mrs. Sybil Long. He worked for Southern Bell. Two individuals have agreed on the identification.
Karen Long Davis writes: This post makes my heart happy! This old farmhouse was built by my Great Grandfather for my grandmother Annette Mobley Daniel and my grandfather Albert Bruce Daniel. My mother Sybil Ann Daniel Long and her sister Miriam Daniel Zook were both born in this home. I grew up spending a great deal of time at the old home place! It included 40 acres of which about 30+ acres were planted in pecan trees (Some of which were planted by my mother and her father , which were a source of income for the farm not only during the Depression, but throughout the years! So many stories and memories for me!! Unfortunately, I had to sell the place and it has gone in disrepair…but the memories remain!!!
Is this between Sardis and Girard? I’m
Sure I’ve passed it a million times. Wish my Grandmother Perry was still alive. I believe she talked on the phone to Mrs Sybil quite often and had visits from her.
A mile or two outside Girard…

Hey Brian – I suspect you are about to receive some additional history about this old home.
Oh, I hope so. Such a neat house.
Hey Brian – Folks in two groups are discussing who’s house it was. I suspect a true identification will be offered up, soon.

Thanks so much, Dale. I will update.
I really believe this to be my all time favorite. I would feel like Queen Jo-Ann if I lived in that little jewel!
Luv ya, Joan
I love this one. It looks like something out of a fairy tale. I would feel so at home in it. Thanks for sharing.
Brian, I am so happy for you in the endeavor you started so long long ago. Your documentation is going to be historically priceless as time goes on – if not already. Yes, I am very jealous!!! With all you have documented, no other photographer can or will be able to compete with what you are accomplishing. Just thought you would like to hear/read some nice words concerning all your wonderful efforts. Keep it up – as I know you will!!!
