These are two of the best-preserved houses of this style I have found. Once common throughout Georgia, they’re increasingly rare today.





Houses like this one, on the fringe of historic neighborhoods, have potential for restoration but are often overlooked.


Brothers Dan and Ed Giles, whose family has farmed the surrounding countryside for over fifty years, have transformed this historic home into the Pine Ridge Plantation lodge. They have modernized the space while maintaining its historic integrity and the plantation has quickly become one of the premier hunting destinations in Southwest Georgia. Though sometimes spelled ‘Ingram’, old timers from the area have written that it was originally spelled ‘Engram’.
