Old Homesite WH07 - White Co., GA
Another homesite that, unlike most of my chimney
explorations, didn't require much of a walk to reach.
|
 |
A lovely intact rock chimney, with double back-to-back fireplaces.

 |
Fireplace, side A.

Opposite side of the chimney.

Fireplace in side B.

Old Homesite WH08 - White Co., GA
Just a few miles from the previous site stood another chimney, just off the road.
I would guess that this one still had its building standing not 30 years ago.
|
 |
Another double hearthed chimney, with back-to-back fireplaces.
|
 |
Fireplace of side A
|
 |
Other side of the chimney..
|
 |
Fireplace of side B
|
 |
Front steps for the long-gone house.
Based on the melted glass, I'd guess that this home burned at some point.

Sheldon and I boated around Lake Nottely, exploring a few old homesites:
Old Homesite UN24 - Off Ivylog Creek, Union Co., GA
|
 |
Remains of the old chimney
|
 |
Chimney remains, from another angle
|
Old Homesite UN25 - near Davenport Mtn, Union Co., GA
|
 |
There wasn't much left of the chimney here...
Sheldon said that this was one of the old Davenport family homesites.
|
 |
There were a number of rock-lined terraces visible here.
|
 |
The old well, now mostly filled in...
|
Old Homesite UN26 - also near Davenport Mtn, Union Co., GA
|
 |
This homesite had a number of well-built terraces.
|
 |
Most of the terrace faces were still lined with stone.
|
 |
This may have been the home's door stoop.
Sheldon thinks this may have been another Davenport family home.
|
 |
The rock foundations outline the shape of the old home.
The collapsed chimney is at the rear.
|
 |
Two of the old logs haven't quite rotted away in the corner of the old dwelling.
