This Carpenter Gothic style home was built circa 1865. It was deeded to the Georgia Baptist Orphans Home in 1932. Henry Jennings purchased it in 1936. The Highsmiths became its current owner in 1983.

     The house features pure heart-pine construction. The main floor beams are mortise and tenon fitted, secured by wooden pegs. Some structural changes were made in the 1930’s. The Highsmiths have re-exposed the original wide-pine board interior walls and renovated the exterior in period colors.
