I spoke with the lady who lives next door to this old tenant house and she stated that her husband grew up here. It is a log house and the siding was added later.

Hi, my name is Velma Littles, The Nevil Tenant House is still standing. It has withstood storms, snow,tornados and plenty of winters. My husband grew up there and moved back behind his parents after we were married. We raised our boys there, and they are All grown now. There are memories there to last a lifetime. In November of 2024, we moved to Portal, Georgia. The Heirs of The Nevils Farm is Planning to demolish it in the near future. I would love to get the picture for my husband and frame it.
Velma, I can get a copy to you. Please email me at wbrianbrown@gmail.com and we will go from there. Thank you again for sharing this history, and I’m sad to hear the house will be gone.
Hi, My name is Velma Littles, my husband and I still live here. But we are in the process of moving. My husband has fond memories of this place, it will be bitter sweet for him, but he realizes it’s time to move on. God Bless.
I don;t think I’ve ever seen a log house with siding
Alice, it’s actually much more common than you might think.
It makes good sense
