- Description:
- Spring Place (Murray County), ca. 1940. The Vann House, completed in 1805, was built by James Vann. He was the son of Clement Vann, a Scot trader, and a Cherokee woman. Bricks, nails, and hinges for the house were made on the place. When James Vann died in 1809, one of his children, Joseph, acquired the house. Over the years the house deteriorated. It was purchased by a group of citizens in 1952 and given to the Georgia Historical Commission. The Commission restored the home, assisted in part by the Whitfield-Murray County Historical Society. It was dedicated in July 1958.
