| Old Georgia Structures of the Past |
| Driving through an Atlanta GA. suburb I could not belief the remnants Driving through an Atlanta GA. suburb I could not belief the remnants of f Georgia's past were still in existence. This photograph as well as the ones below were taken in Snellville, GA.. The owner of the property explained that the shack on the right was once part of a plantation The entire property looked as if someone had turned the clock back a hundred years or so. and al the stuff on the porch could have been left there today. The covered wagon and the rusty farm equipment tell a different story. Canon EOS 7e, 28/90 MM Kodak Supra 100. |

The picture to the left is not a crop from the above but a "zoom" from the same vantage point. It shows better detail of the stuff around the place and the tools hanging from walls and rafters. Is this an antique shop I asked? The owner smiled. I pressed the shutter. Canon EOS 7e, 28/90 MM Kodak Supra 100 film auto settings. Plantation quarters is the title of the picture to the right. If the structures are or not, I am not sure, but they sure look like it. Notice the red "buggy" wagon underneath the lean-to-shed contrasted in time by a modern lawn mower to the left. Canon 7e, 28/90 MM Kodak Supra 100 film auto settings. |

On the way to Atlanta near Tilton GA, I spotted this old farm house O-1228/29. This structure was abandoned many years ago probably for being to close to the Interstate 75. Driving through the country site, I ended-up on Route 20 |

go way back. Some of these structures go way back into the 1800 hundred's. Some are still in use like the one picture in O-1214. The area is rich in civil war history related to the battle and the burning of Atlanta. |

| The "Battle of Atlanta" was a battle of the Although the battle started on July 22, it took a desperate six weeks before it finally fell. Images O-1227 & O-1229 are of the farm house, the latter shows more sky emphasizing the smallness of the homestead in this large expanse of farm land. Atlanta Campaign fought during the American Civil War on July 22, 1864, just southeast of Atlanta, Georgia including the area where the above images were taken. |

IIn the left corner of the barn (O-1250) above, you see some items stored there. A closer look reveals some fire wood and several bails of hay. To the left is a closer look at, what now looks like an attractive still. Below, O-1304, Red Barn located at Rosebud Rd. Between Highway 20 and 78 South-West of Loganville. This barn is still in use however, it appears to have been moved judging from the cement block foundation pillars |

GA. seems to be an area where old car bodies are kept in old barns. This one to the right appears to be either an old Ford model A or T. Further down this page, we find an old Chevy in another location. The rotary plow to the left is another item of the past. |
