description

Summary

Significance: This farm consists of a historic farmhouse with its associated outbuildings and pecan groves. The structures are located on approximately 465 acres of farmland historically associated with the farmhouse and the Rodgers and Buchanan families. The Folk Victorian farmhouse and outbuildings are located amongst an extensive grove of continuously cultivated pecan trees, many of which date to the mid-1920s. This farm is significant architecturally as a good example of a Folk Victorian farmhouse. In addition, the farmhouse and the collection and arrangement of outbuildings provide a good example of farm complexes prevalent in Southwest Georgia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
