Winged Gable Farmhouse, Goldsboro

The winged gable house is another important vernacular type and can be interchangeable with the central hallway type. In many cases, the “wing” is simply a small kitchen which has been enclosed but it can imply any added room/rooms. These are some of the workhorses of Georgia architecture.

As I’m finishing my Bleckley County re-edits, I’m replacing a few older files using better originals. This is one of those, originally published in February 2014. I believe the house was still standing when I was last in the area about six months ago.

C. C. Jarrell Grocery, Goldsboro

This is what remains of the historic settlement of Goldsboro. It’s one of the best-looking country stores around and is luckily protected from vandals by the presence of a house next door. I admire those who have maintained this relic over the years. I just want to thank Cindy McDonald Swartz for pointing me to Highway 26; it’s one of the most beautiful drives in this part of Georgia and will make you want to explore all of Bleckley County. There’s lots to see.
