This house was built for E. C. and Ellen Long Caswell. It was purchased by Ernest and Susie Groover in 1951 and remained in their family until 1976. It has been used commercially since, including a time as a doctor’s office. It’s one of just a few historic houses remaining in downtown Hinesville, and some say it’s haunted.

Built in the late 1880s, this house was the home of the Mills family for most of the 20th century. (This photo was made in February 2010). According to Virginia Fraser Evans’ Liberty County: A Pictorial History, George M. and Flora Fraser Mills moved here with their son Wallace Fraser Mills in 1903. It was recently sold by its present owners and moved to another location. It really is a shame, as Hinesville has very few historic structures, even though it is located in one of the most historic counties in the state. Perhaps the most beautiful grove of oaks in Hinesville was located here, as well, and they were recently removed for the construction of a government building. Thanks to Della Martin for the identification.
