This log structure was built in 1913 by the Durham family.  In 1918, Mrs. D. C. Pickett, as president of the Dawson Woman’s Club, purchased the house for the sum of one thousand dollars.  It was entrusted to her successors in office.

            In 1950, it was deeded to the Dawson Garden Club and in 1994 was deeded to the Dawson Restoration Society (now the Terrell County Historic Preservation Society) for one dollar.  It serves as an occasional meeting house for the Society and is also available for rental to individuals and organizations.
