These homes are located on adjacent lots. I presume they were built around the same time.

Though it was later modified to a Folk Victorian appearance, I believe this house has antebellum origins. I hope to learn more.

The original Gay House [circa 1840s] located on this property burned in 1936 and the W. C. Worrill house located next door was divided into two separate houses, from which this section originated. The carriage steps remain.

Owen-Bowles House, 1936, Cuthbert
This grand Georgian house was designed by Dennis & Dennis for Granby Owen. The facade is of Indiana limestone and the Williamsurg-style bricks were handmade by Bickerstaff of Columbus. In 1957 the house was purchased by Jesse G. Bowles, Jr., a Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. Mike McCall & I were wandering down Lumpkin Street and taking in its beautiful architecture when we were lucky enough to run into Judy Bowles, who gave us a warm and welcoming tour of the house and grounds. Judy is quite passionate about her home and all the historic architecture of Cuthbert.
The formal parlor is a wonderful space, anchored by an extraordinary mantle.
The stairwell is one of my favorite features of the house.
The arch windows are also great, typical of the work of Dennis & Dennis.
The landing is bright and inviting.
