This high-style Folk Victorian house is the most visible landmark in Hagan, so large it would easily be mistaken for a boarding house. It was the home of George Wesley DeLoach (6 February 1853-8 January 1932). DeLoach was a farmer, businessman, and politician, who was instrumental in the establishment of Evans County.

A sign in front of the house identified the builder as Daniel Jones Nobles, though I believe it was actually Daniel Jackson Nobles (1858-1944), as I can locate no one named Daniel Jones Nobles in local records. Nobles was a prominent local builder, who came to the area from Irwin County. According to the National Register of Historic Places nomination, “…Nobles’ trademark appears to have been his extensive use of tongue-and-groove boarding. He seems to have been employed by George DeLoach for all building projects DeLoach was involved with, and in this capacity he designed and built the first store in Hagan, a doctor’s office, the Bank of Hagan building and the Tabernacle at a local cemetery.”

The house has been well-maintained over the years.
