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.

Peach Warehouse, Circa 1910, Godfrey
A Georgia historic resources database identifies this as a peach warehouse, which utilized adjacent railroad tracks for shipping. I don’t know if it was built for that purpose, but if not, it was certainly a warehouse of some type.
Historic Storefront, Circa 1910, Godfrey
Lacking a history of this structure, I’m going to guess that it was a grocery or general store. The recessed entrance is a common characteristic of buildings of this era and use.
Corner Entrance Bank, Circa 1910, Godfrey
The “corner entrance” store was a common style of commercial architecture in early 20th century Georgia. It was also a popular form for banks, and at least one resource survey identifies this as having been a bank early in its history.
Gabled-Ell Tenant Farmhouse, Morgan County
The gabled-ell or winged gable form is one of the most common of the vernacular house types of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in rural Georgia. Most of these originated as small central hallway or hall-and-parlor houses and were expanded as a family’s needs required more space.
This photo was made in 2015 and I believe it was on Nolan Store Road. I’m not sure if it was near the Nolan Plantation, though.
