Shotgun House, Leary
I found several shotgun houses in Leary. I’ve always liked them and find them increasingly difficult to locate in authentic condition. The tiny house and sustainable architecture movements have been responsible for new versions popping up all over the place, but the originals have a character all their own.
Shotgun House, Jesup
This house and its identical neighbor are later and slightly larger examples of the shotgun style, but just as utilitarian and unadorned than their antecedents.
Board-and-Batten Shotgun House, Tattnall County
This is part of a property that features several salvaged historic structures originally located elsewhere in the county.
Cotton Mill House, Poulan
I first thought this to be a commissary but Hugh Harris West writes that this was not a commercial structure. It was a shotgun cotton mill house and I knew the families who lived there in the ’40’s and ’50’s. There was an identical house to the right of this. I do not know what is stored, if anything, in this structure now. The exterior window treatments were changed when it ceased to be a dwelling.
Shotgun House, Fitzgerald
This is one of just a few shotgun houses still standing in Fitzgerald.
Board-and-Batten Shotgun House, Gay
Shotgun House, Darien
This house has been modified from its original shotgun style but retains the shotgun appearance from the front.
Shotgun Store, Freedmen’s Grove
In 2011, Kimberly Robinson told Vanishing South Georgia that her father owns the house and the store and is in the process of slowly restoring both structures.
