I’ve always documented Georgia’s finest homes alongside its more common dwellings, and this is a great example of the latter. I maintain that the living spaces of the working classes are more important in a broader historical sense than the “grand old ladies” that have always gotten the most coverage from historians and photographers, because they represent the familiar. The simplicity of this pyramidal cottage is what I admire most about it. It probably dates from the 1920s-1940s.
