This is one of just a few historic structures located in Fleming. I don’t know it it is original to the location. It has a saddlebag floor plan, with a wing added later, though one could easily see it as Georgian Cottage in miniature.
Here’s another one of the Eclectic Cottages, located just north of the historic district. Like most examples in Metter, it has strong Victorian influences.
This is another example of the Victorian-inspired eclectic architecture found throughout Metter’s historic residential district.

I made these photographs in 2020. I believe the house has been painted brown since that time, but retains the bright pink trim. As with other unidentified homes in Metter, I will update if I learn more.

This Queen Anne cottage is just north of the South Metter Historic District but is perhaps the finest example of the form in town. I’m not sure if the design is from a pattern book or is just the work of a local carpenter, but it’s a great little house.
The Trapnell-Boyd House is one of the finest examples in Metter of this eclectic architectural style that dominated small Georgia towns around the turn of the 20th century. The overall appearance is Folk Victorian, but the tapered posts aren’t really Victorian at all.

This simple Georgian cottage is enhanced by a Craftsman-inspired front porch. Property records date it to circa 1940, but I believe it was built earlier.
This Queen Anne cottage is one of the finest works of residential architecture in Glennville, located right in the heart of downtown. The Hughes family was prolific in the area, but I haven’t located much about the Coates family. Cemetery records indicated Charles Marion Coates (1882-1935) and Eula DeLoach Coates (1887-1951) lived in Glennville around the time this house was built.
For much of its history, this was the home of the Lawrence Earl ‘L. E.’ Justice (1908-1986) family. Mr. Justice was an insurance agent. Like many of the houses on West Central Avenue, it was likely built circa 1910-1920. Online property records date it to 1950, which is not correct.
This is another example of a modified shotgun house, in this case made fancy with Queen Anne elements.
