Brian Brown’s caption for this photo reads: “This hall-and-parlor cottage, complete with a preacher’s room, is a wonderful example of this historic vernacular form. While the romantic notion of a preacher’s room would suggest it hosted traveling preachers, it was more likely just an added room to accommodate a growing family. Perhaps visiting family used it, as well.” Photo provided.

By Elliott Brack  |  A photograph from the online site, Vanishing Georgia, showed a “preacher’s room” on a rural house in Wilkinson County which brought back memories of growing up in middle Georgia.

BRACK: Crumbling buildings in rural south Georgia can depress you

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Returning from South Georgia after attending a funeral this week, we got off the Interstates for a while, and enjoyed the less stressful driving on the back roads. All in all, it‘s much more enjoyable, too, as you see how the crops are doing (the Vidalias are green topped and ready for harvest), check out the small communities, and see Georgia in a way as it was in the past.
