Unidentified Building, Peacocks Crossing
I believe this building was recently exposed by a property cleanup, as I’ve been through this area numerous times and have never seen it before. The massing of the structure is a bit unusual, leading me to conclude it was likely not a house.
Commissary, Washington County
This structure is located across the highway from the house in the previous post. I would have included it with that post, but I’m not sure if it’s part of the same farm. I’ve preliminarily identified it as a commissary, since it has windows, but I can’t confirm. It’s a great little building, whatever its past purpose.
Folk Victorian Farmhouse, Washington County
This beautiful home commands a nice view of the surrounding farmland from its promontory along a busy highway north of Sandersville. Records I’ve located date it to 1910, but I think it’s probably an earlier central hallway form, later updated with the Queen Anne dormers and the exposed rafters. Several historic barns are well-maintained on the property, as well.
Corn Crib, Washington County
Anne Chamlee made this photograph just south of Oconee in March 1991. She shares my fascination with old log structures.

General Store, Washington County
Anne Chamlee photographed this old store on Union Church Road near Warthen in January 1989.
Boatright House, Washington County
Anne Chamlee photographed this abandoned Queen Anne house, just south of Tennille, in March 1991. I have also photographed a good bit in the area and haven’t encountered it. I’d love to get an identification if anyone remembers it. [Anne was unable to get a photograph of the front of the house, but these images give a good idea as to its size and layout.]
Update: Henry and Shirley Chapman write: The house in the photograph is the old Boatright House…Also, I thought the house might be gone, but Rachel Boatright confirmed that it is in fact still standing.
