Architecturally, this is one of the most outstanding homes in Forsyth. The main massing of the house is in the Georgian Cottage style, but the overall effect is that of an “eccentric” Queen Anne. It is a real wonder and has been maintained with the highest integrity.
Dan Green bought the property from Rhonda C. Dewberry in 1869 and the house was built circa 1879-1880. The tower is thought to have been added in the 1890s.
This is a truly beautiful house!
Brian,
Of course the low wall and the three steps at the street were there to make it easier to get in and out of buggies that would pull up there.
Love your posts. Keep up the good work.
