Bennet House, 1904, Quitman
Emily Strickland Wall wrote, via our Facebook page that this home belonged to the Bennett family. Spencer Bennett was a lawyer. His maiden sister, Louise Bennett taught piano there after she retired from faculty at Shorter college. Many children learned to play at that piano. I took lessons there in the 50’s and 60’s. His law office was the little building next to it.
