This cottage is located in the vicinity of Eden. Eden, and all of the south end of Effingham County, is being completely transformed by new construction and a rapidly expanding presences of warehouses, some nearly a million square feet in size. The little communities that once defined the area are becoming difficult to distinguish.

A 1990 Georgia Historic Resources survey suggested that this structure may have been moved to this location but I cannot confirm that. Perhaps the newer chimneys led to that conclusion. There’s also an attached kitchen at the rear of the structure. Whatever the home’s origins, it’s a type once common in the area that is increasingly endangered.

Over the next several days, I’ll be publishing quite a few new photographs from Effingham County, while also re-editing my existing posts from the county.
