- Description:
- It was located at 2159 Whitesville Road, near LaGrange, Ga. It was a two-story wood frame house featuring a two-story portico with pediment supported by four fluted Ionic columns on brick piers. A Classical Revival veranda added in 1910 wraps around the front and side has one-story fluted Ionic columns. Because the veranda roof is within the taller portico and runs underneath the balcony, the house has an awkward appearance. The second floor balcony is enclosed by a ballustrade. The house was built between 1835 and 1840 by Cullen Rodgers. Architectural features include elliptical fans over the front door and in pediments, and Rodgers' signature fluted Ionic columns with star medallions. The original owner was Col. James W. Fannin, also known as Fannin, (Creek War 1836). It was razed when the Great Wolfe water park was built.
