The house pictured below is thought to be one of the last surviving* employee cottages built by the Ludowici Celadon Company when they operated a factory in the community that took its name. There was likely a row or two of these houses near the Celadon plant, and some have referred to this area as the “White Line” because the segregated housing of the time had its boundaries nearby.

Though it appears to be of the saddlebag form, it is actually a hall-and-parlor cottage, with two rooms, a shed room, and preacher room, and is typical of factory housing of the era.

*- The location of the house is the primary reason for the identification as factory housing. It is possible that another of the factory structures survives on a nearby property not visible from the street. The postcard, mailed on 18 March 1915 to Ruth Potter of Lawton Station, New York, also contains a message that “…This is the roofing plant at lower end of this town. There is housing for workers…”
