It was The Lambdin-McCarthy house (1849) in Barnesville, Ga., and comes from Walter Geiger in Barnesville. It is an Antebellum Georgian Revival style home, used as hospital for wounded Confederates during the Civil War. A hidden tunnel exists under the house and runs toward the adjacent railroad track.  The house was later owned by the late Charles E. Lambdin, founder and first president of Gordon Institute, now known as Gordon College. The house is now a bed and breakfast.
