This house was located in western Ben Hill County in the Aster or Sunflower Road area, near Arp. The photograph was made in 2004 and the house was razed soon thereafter. Unfortunately, this is the best quality file I’ve been able to locate. I’m re-editing my Ben Hill County images now and am republishing this (a different version was originally published in 2008) with the hope that someone will know more about the house. It was one of the special places that inspired the work I do now.
Exceptional photography!
Interesting comment about this now-gone house and how it inspired you in your photography early on. It looks good in black and white with a hint of sepia.
I’ve got Young and related kin that lived there in the distant past
Definitely a lot of Youngs and some Minshews in that area. I imagine the house was probably connected to one of the families.
Yes, my family line married Minshews back around the late 1800’s to 1900-ish time frame according to what research I’ve found/done…if I’m remembering right
