- Description:
- Located at: 215 East Robert Toombs Avenue, Washington, Ga.
Built in 1820 by Harris Sandifer, the structure was a shop for Sandifer's harness making. The second owner, Frank Wingfield enlarged the original structure. The next owner, Isaiah Tucker Irvin II, enlarged it. After his death, his widow continued renovations. The structure, made of hand-planed virgin pine, was unpainted for the first one hundred years of its existence. The house is part of the National Register's East Robert Toombs Historic District.
