Saddlebag Cottage, Circa 1900, Quitman County

An old, abandoned house partially covered in foliage, surrounded by trees, with a rusty roof and a weathered porch.

This isolated saddlebag cottage, likely a tenant house, was identified in an architectural survey in the early 1990s and dated to circa 1900. The date is an educated guess but a good one. It is a slightly unusual variant of the saddlebag form, made so by the addition of a central window in the facade.

    This house is on my family’s place. I don’t know when it was built, it was there when the place was purchased in the 1930’s. My great-great Grandparents lived there for a while in the late 30’s. It was in use until sometime in the 80’s.
