- Description:
- Sandersville, Nov. 6, 1954. Magnolia Hall located at 235 North Harris Street. It was built circa 1878 by Bryant Watkins and his son, William W. Watkins. It was built as a four-room cottage and was known as Cedar Hall. The Horace Adams and Virgil Joiner families rented it. In 1888 the Jefferson Alexander Irwin family rented it, and in 1897 purchased it. In 1898 he remodeled the house. A second story was added as was a Victorian porch among other things. Mr. Irwin's daughter Louise was the next to own the home. Remodeling began in late 1954 and was completed in 1955. The home now is an example of the Georgian colonial style of architecture. She renamed the home Magnolia Hall. This view shows the home prior to remodeling.
