retains its original materials and floor plan, and represents Tybee's boarding house district located between 16th and 18th streets. The district featured an assortment of boarding houses and rental cottages that were available for rent by the week, month, or season. The building is one of the few historic boarding houses left on Tybee Island. In the first decades of the 20th century, Tybee Island, also known as Savannah Beach, developed as a coastal resort for residents of nearby Savannah. The opening of the Tybee Road in 1923, a causeway that linked the island with Savannah, fueled the demand for small inns, rooming houses, and apartments for middle-class vacationers.

The act provided for each congressional district to have an A & M school for rural secondary education. The initial curriculum focused on practical demonstrative coursework (primarily farming for boys and home economics for girls). Localities had to furnish at least 200 acres of land
