Shingle Style House, 1898, Barnesville

This grand Shingle Style Victorian is one of the highlights of the historic residential section of Barnesville and an exemplar of the form. The style is relatively uncommon in Georgia and is usually found in larger urban settings. Often called cottages, most houses of this type were built between 1876-1910. If you’ve visited Jekyll Island, you have likely seen a few in the National Historic Landmark District, owned as vacation homes by some of America’s wealthiest families of the time.
