This nicely maintained home is typical of Queen Anne forms found in rural communities all over Georgia, which are characterized by less ornamentation than their slightly more decorative contemporaries.

Italian Renaissance Revival House, Cordele
This is a fine example of the Renaissance Revival architecture that was popular in the first decades of the 20th century.

I believe this well-proportioned house is now home to a law office.

Stone-Sided Cottage, Cordele
This is a common mid-20th century house type but the stone siding makes it one of my favorites in Cordele.

Mr. Fish Fry King, Cordele
This a soul food-seafood restaurant. The murals are nice.
R. A. Bedgood House, 1894, Arabi
Having last photographed this local landmark in 2009 [see the history of the house and a vintage photograph here], I was determined to get some photos before it is lost forever. I understand that the most recent owners began restoration efforts in the 1990s and were unable to complete the project. I believe the house could, and should, be saved, even in its present state. [I have included the date of 1894 after consulting two sources; it may have been built slightly earlier and I’ll update if I learn more].
A gazebo, which is likely of later construction, remains on the property.
The most interesting dependency, however, is this unique structure just to the left of the house. It is believed to have been Mr. Bedgood’s home office.
Hall-and-Parlor Farmhouse, Crisp County
This hall-and-parlor farmhouse features a so-called “preacher’s room” off the left front porch. It has been a landmark to me in my travels between Cordele and Americus for many years.
General Store, Crisp County
This is one of the finest surviving general stores in the area, notable for its shake front gable and vent. It has been repurposed, but very well preserved.
