I’m presently re-editing my Morgan County posts and discovered a few houses I’d yet to publish. This delightful Queen Anne is a favorite, and I will post more information when I can.
Madison Historic District, National Register of Historic Places
This house has been restored in recent years and the effort has been recognized by the local historic preservation society.

This is a well-preserved home and other than replaced porch posts and balusters appears to be in original condition.
The popularity of the Queen Anne style is evident throughout rural Georgia, where it was applied to thousands of otherwise common farmhouses from the late 1800s well into the 20th century. It’s an enduring form whose popularity continues to the present day.
One of the most recognizable landmarks in Flemington, this Victorian townhouse was built by William B. Trask in the late 1800s, perhaps as early as the 1880s. Trask, with Frederick Newsom Lyons, also owned the store which still stands next door. Peter Fleming Martin, Sr., and Herbert Lowery Stacy, Sr., were the next owners, and the house was home for many years to Stacy’s Florist.
The footprint of this Queen Anne cottage has been slightly expanded by the addition of porches during its history but is largely original.

This Queen Anne-style jail is somewhat typical of other such facilities built in the 1890s and early 1900s around Georgia. It would have housed inmates, as well as the jailer’s family. It’s now home to the Clay County Sheriff’s office.

This landmark Queen Anne has also been identified as the Johnson-Weston House and the Hattaway House.
Considering the date of the home’s construction, it’s possible that the shake dormers were later additions, perhaps during the 1870s or 1880s.
This house was likely associated with the row of stores across the road. Though I’m identifying it as a Queen Anne, it’s really more a Folk Victorian interpretation of that style, and once quite common with prosperous farmers in rural Georgia.
