This classic “dogtrot” is located just west of Dublin. I don’t know if it was moved here or if the foundation was simply refurbished, but it’s a great example of the type of house most often associated with pioneer life in South Georgia.

This home is actually north of Dublin on Hwy 441. I am 38 years old and always remember this Dogtrot being there. Several years ago someone cleaned the place up. I grew up about 2 miles farther north at the corner of 441 & 338. The home i was raised in was said to be the oldest inhabited house in Laurens county. My parents sold the circa 1810 house several years ago to a young family who have taken great care of it. There were blood stains on the second floor from an injured civil war soldier, so the story goes. I remember when the “kitchen & weave room” was set up on a basement and our “tenant house” was created in the early 80′s. Check it out next time your traveling up 441. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Chad, and thanks for the information on the house. It’s unusual to find one in this condition, but nice to see.
This is a great picture of this old dog trot house! I am not from georgia i’m from arkansas. We bought an 1800s dog trot in 2009. The front of the dog trot was already enclosed with glass and wood with the feont porch still standing and the back of the dog trot open with the back porch overhang enclosed and serves as a kitchen, dining area, and walk in closet for the pen we use for the master bedroom. All of the original logs and materials have been well preserved and show in the pens as they have for probably 150 yrs. The doors are even original on the pens.
I believe this was for sale a few years back as a log cabin that would need to be moved.
I wonder if it’s present location is the new location; likely so.
I have seen this dog trot cabin in this location since the late 1960′s having heard this cabin discussed by those living in the early 1900′s I would guess it is in its original location.
