Meiere-Bearden House, Circa 1873, Madison
The Colonial Revival features of the house may be later additions, perhaps in the early 20th century. I don’t know that the diamond pane window sashes would have been in fashion in the 1870s, though it’s possible.

Queen Anne House, Madison
I’m presently re-editing my Morgan County posts and discovered a few houses I’d yet to publish. This delightful Queen Anne is a favorite, and I will post more information when I can.

Dovecote House, Circa 1830, Madison
This home was built in the transitional Federal style by Isaac Walker for his daughter Cornelia and her husband Thomas Jefferson Burney circa 1830 and remodeled to its present Victorian appearance by Martin Richter circa 1895. The house supposedly survived a devastating fire in Madison in 1869 by being covered with wet blankets. It derives its name from a dovecote in the yard.

This stunning relic of the Aesthetic Movement has long been a favorite of photographers and visitors to Madison. After years of neglect and an uncertain future, this endangered property has a new owner and a bright future, with restoration in its future.

Jessup-Atkinson House, Circa 1820, Madison
This house was built circa 1820 and and has been remodeled and expanded over the years. It’s sometimes referred to as “Luhurst” for former owner Lula Hurst Atkinson (1869-1950). As a teenager in the 1880s, Lula Hurst traveled around the country performing illusions of strength and levitation under the name “Lulu Hurst, The Georgia Wonder”. After working only two years she gave up performing and married her manager, Paul Atkinson, who once owned the Atlanta Cyclorama. They moved to Madison and Lula lived in this house until her death in 1950.
