Hip-Roof Farmhouse, Circa 1890s, Lamar County

This unusual hip-roof farmhouse is located east of Johnstonville, near the Monroe County line. It’s a style I’ve seen a few times, but one I would consider very uncommon. Two large trees have recently fallen on the property but luckily the house was spared.

Though a photograph of this house is not included in the National Register nomination for the Johnstonville-Goggins Historic District, another smaller tenant house very close to this location is documented.

    I like this hip style roof. Even though house appears to be abandoned, I’m sure it was a well loved home, and the neatly mowed yard shows that someone still cares. A new coat of paint would do wonders.
