This home has been expanded over time but is typical of the Georgian Cottage style so popular in Darien in the late 19th century. It is known as the Blount House and the old Methodist parsonage for a minister active in Darien over a century ago. I believe nearby Blount’s Crossing is named for him.

That house was my gg uncles house, Thomas Butler Blount. He was in the 5th Georgia cavalry during the war Between the states. All my Blount Family lived at the Ridge. Blount crossing was named after my family.
I live in the Blount house now (since 1995) & I think I met you on my front porch several years back and you emailed me some pictures of your ancestors. We have enjoyed living here and have done a lot of work to keep up the house & make it more comfortable (central heat/air, metal roof, new paint etc.). It’s been a labor of love and I hope our sons will keep it in the family!
