This cross gable cottage is a good example of the emerging transitional architectural styles that came into popularity in the early 20th century, often as a response to the high style, and expense, of the Victorian aesthetic. The South Railroad Historic District is centered along the railroad tracks, just a couple of blocks from the commercial center of this once bustling community. The first decade of the 20th century was a prosperous era in Baconton and most of its houses date from this time.
