Aline, Georgia
Before the construction of Interstate 16, Aline was a busy little village. Today, just a few old stores and a couple of blocks of older homes remain. And it’s pronounced A-LINE. The building on the right was Bill’s Grocery (thanks to Travis C. Hall for the identification).

Farmhouse with Four-Sided Chimney, Rosemary Church Road
As evident in the image below, this house was essentially a rectangular design anchored by a four-sided chimney; I’m unsure if this was a single family dwelling or a tenant dwelling.

Cracker Farmhouse, Rosemary Church Road
This tenant farmhouse is among the most iconic examples of Cracker style.

R. L. Rushton Farm, Big Barn Road
I first came to know of this structure from another photographer in the area and was absolutely amazed when I was finally able to photograph it. It’s a massive structure and its architectural features, such as wooden-shingle dormers and trellis vents and doors, make it among the rarest styles I’ve ever located in South Georgia. I know nothing of its history but I hope to soon.
Young cotton plants were thriving in the field adjoining the barn.
The cedar tree in the foreground is very emblematic of old South Georgia farms, but like most such icons, is seen less and less these days.

Eclectic Tractor Shed, R. L. Rushton Farm
As unique and interesting as its sister structure across Big Barn Road, this tractor shed is in need of stabilization to preserve its iconic appearance.
