This building was on the edge of town in Hogansville, if my memory serves me correctly. It’s just a vernacular structure that I found intriguing. It may have been two houses put together, a sort of duplex, or even an office of some kind. The right side of the building has saddlebag characteristics. While it appears there was a porch on the visible side that has been removed, a shed porch runs across the back side, adding to the mystery. If anyone knows, please reach out.
There appears to be only one chimney, on the right side. Wonder why the left side doesn’t have one too?
If it’s a saddlebag type then the chimney is double-sided inside. A tenant house on my property is like that. It’s also a common style in Louisiana, I understand (the double sided chimney in the middle of the house, that is.)
I knew it was a double-sided chimney; but the two front doors seemed to indicate the building had two separate living quarters. That’s why I thought there would be another (double-sided) chimney on the left half. As Brian indicated, this could have been two buildings joined together.
My tenant house is constructed that way and I noticed that there are doors on the opposite walls in line with the front doors in both rooms – almost shotgun style. Someone told me each room having to exterior doors across from each other like that was probably to create a cooling draft in the summer. That might explain it? You’d have to go around back and see if there are two doors back there in roughly the same spots.
