Pyramidal Cottage, Circa 1904, Walthourville

Hip-Roof Farmhouse, Wayne County

Pyramidal Cottage, Cuthbert

Cuthbert Historic District, National Register of Historic Places

Pyramidal Tenant Farmhouses, Telfair County

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

Georgian Cottage, 1894, Forsyth

Hip-Roof Farmhouse, Emanuel County

Pyramidal Cottage, Colquitt County

New South Cottage, Quitman

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

American Foursquare Farmhouse, Decatur County

Sam Engram House, Circa 1913, Zetto

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’.
