This little building in the middle of Kite looks like some kind of store, perhaps a repair shop, or even an office. I just liked the wisteria and the exposed boards. It’s looked like this as long as I’ve been driving through Kite.
This is the first of three posts I’m sharing to celebrate Earth Day. Georgia has diverse natural beauty, but here’s an example of how much smarter our farmers have gotten in regards to keeping their fields in better shape through the use of cover crops. Sunflowers and canola [rapeseed] are doing their part for soil stabilization and attracting pollinators in a field north of Wrightsville.
This building is located at the intersection of Greenway Cemetery Road [aka Davis Cemetery] and US Highway 319. Janice Godbee writes: This store was owned and operated by Mr. Robert Price, now deceased. His home was at one time to the left of the storefront. He had one son, James, and a daughter, Violet. As a young girl I remember the location very well and our families were great friends.
This building has been repainted since I made this photograph circa 2014, but it’s still a landmark of Wrightsville, smack dab in the middle of town, across the intersection of Marcus and Elm Streets from the courthouse. It’s had many tenants over its long history, but is best known as the old Farmers Bank.
An historic resource survey dates this structure to circa 1935. I haven’t found any other information so far.
The layout of this barn, particularly the front window, would suggest it had a commercial use or was the center of a very large farming operation.
This landmark farmhouse looks particularly good surrounded by the bright yellow blooms of canola [rapeseed].
This house, a landmark in my travels into Kite, sits on a sandy hill overlooking Beeline Springs.
This house has lost its front porch but retains a detached kitchen.
