Summary

Significance: This wooden frame home is a one-story, single family dwelling built ca. 1915 as operative housing for Fuller E. Callaway's Hillside Mill. The irregular Z-plan includes and unusual central chimneystack with three fireplaces. A bathroom addition was made between 1920 and 1930. The closets in the bedroom are very recent additions. The original interior wall and ceiling surfaces were probably plaster. Luther C. Railey, his wife Eunice and their family lived in the house for at least 20 years (1938-1958). Railey worked as a doffer for the Hillside Mill. When Callaway built Hillside Mill in 1915, it was the seventh mill erected in LaGrange. Callaway was a principal investor in many other Troup County mills from 1900 until his death in 1928.
