This wonderfully maintained house is one of several “undiscovered” gems in Collins. I’m not sure if the turret is in its original state or if a dome may have topped it at one time.

Old Collins School
I think this is now privately owned. I don’t know when it was built but I’d guess during the Great Depression or just a bit earlier.

Old Collins Gymnasium
This was built for the school next door; it’s been restored and is now used as a community center and available for rentals. Many of these old gyms have fallen into ruin so it’s nice to see this one in good condition.

Collins House, Cobbtown
Thanks to Renee Johnson for identifying this house which is home to her aunt.
I still don’t know the origin of the term “Cobbtown Sport”, but there’s a nice Facebook page of the same name for the sharing of memories and photographs of this charming little town:

Roger Wood Lodge #438 & School, Circa 1924, Cobbtown
Though I thought this to be an old community center or Masonic lodge, a lady next door told me she thought this structure once housed the city hall. Thanks to a message from Renee Johnson, though, soon after I initially posted this, I now know this was the Roger Wood Lodge and that it was formed on 1 October 1901. It was in use until a new lodge was built in 1989. Renee also notes that the downstairs portion of the building served as a school.

Designed by J. W. Golucke, Georgia’s leading courthouse architect, this Second Empire-influenced structure originally featured a clock tower. It remains one of the more unique courthouses in the state.
