Old Banks County Jail, 1906, Homer
National Register of Historic Places
Greek Revival Office, Homer
Though expanded and moved a short distance, this structure dates to the early settlement of Homer. It may have been a lawyer’s office, considering its proximity to the courthouse. Typical of the era, it was built in the shotgun style and featured a vernacular interpretation of the Greek Revival, which has been lost with its expansion. It’s located in the yard of the Jolly House and could have also been Dr. Jolly’s office at some point.

Hill Hotel, Circa 1835 & 1873, Homer
Also known as the Candler-Hill House, this is best known today as the Hill Hotel, which was in operation until 1952. Originally built as a Plantation Plain with Greek Revival details, it was expanded by T. F. Hill for use as a boarding house and hotel. It was recently on the verge of demolition, but Scott Reed will be doing an architecturally sensitive remodel, and he believes the core of the house dates to circa 1835.
The 1873 date generally associated with the house is likely when the property was expanded to its present appearance.

Old Post Office, Homer
Beginning in the 1930s, this was operated as a post office by Oscar Garrison. Its construction, though, would suggest other historical uses. Another remaining structure (Mason’s Store), not pictured here, also served as the post office for a time.
