Gordon Avenue Apartments, 1929, Thomasville

This Tudor Revival apartment complex was designed by architects Sydney S. Daniell and Russell L. Beutell and built in 1929 to meet the immediate housing needs of the growing middle class community of Thomasville.

Each section of the complex has a slightly different design giving a bit a whimsical tone to the whole structure. It’s an early example of this process, commonly used with condominiums and apartments today.

The Carolyn Apartments, 1915, Milledgeville

These Craftsman apartments were built between 1910-1915 by Julius A. Horne, who named them for his wife, Carolyn “Carrie” Sherman Horne. They lived in one apartment and rented the other three. The location was chosen for its proximity to Sacred Heart Catholic Church, as the Hornes were Catholics. Both Mr. Horne and his son, J. Adrian Horney, served as mayors of Milledgeville.

H. F. Bullard House + Rutland Apartments, 1912, Cochran

This eclectic Craftsman cottage was built by the local postmaster and housed a kindergarten at one time. Throughout most of its history, it has been known as the Rutland Apartments.

Russell Davidson writes: This house was used for apartments, for many years. There were four apartments, I believe. I had several friends that lived there, over time. It has been vacant for quite a while. Pam Allen adds: Actually 5 apartments. Small one 1 bedroom on the side bottom floor. 3 on the bottom floor, 2 on the top floor. I wish someone could remodel it before it is completely destroyed. And Neil Tomlinson: My girlfriend (now lovely wife), lived in the left side outside apartment there. Good times there were had by all. Its a shame to see it going down.

Update: This Cochran landmark was lost to arson on 12 June 2020.
