I nearly included this house with the other Queen Annes of Parrott, but after much debate, decided it was actually an eclectic Folk Victorian. While the overall footprint of the house is Queen Anne, the porch is decidedly not. Eclecticism was popular at the turn of the last century, so I’m not sure if this mixture of styles is original or a later modification. Thanks to Parrott native Beth Alston, I now have a name for the house. She also notes it’s rumored to be haunted.
Parrott is one of the most beautiful small towns in South Georgia.
Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the historic district is the unusually large number of Queen Anne cottages, which range from simple to ornate in design.
These were built around the turn of the last century, at the height of Parrott’s economic prominence.
Most small towns boast a few examples, but when you consider the population of Parrott is around 150, it’s quite extraordinary.
