Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, now vacationing in Canada, identified the previous photo; “It’s the Whitehall Mansion, located at 130 Phoenix Road in Athens, Ga. It is a large Romanesque residence that features Victorian and Gothic influences. It was built in 1892 by John Richards White, who owned a mill near the residence. The building was designed by University of Georgia Professor Charles M. Strahan and now serves as a reception center for UGA’s School of Forest Resources. The mansion was rehabilitated and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s.” The mystery photo came from Mark Smith of Eatonton.
Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C., added: “The house is situated on what was the original 750-acre Whitehall Experimental Forest, a tract of land that became part of the University of Georgia’s property. Although it was intended as a private residence, the university acquired it in the 1930s.”
Others sending in the correct answers were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Lou Camerio, Lilburn.
