Purchased from J. A. Dasher, Sr., by Susan I. Dasher in 1901, this is one of the “Five Sisters” houses built by J. A. Dasher at the turn of the century, all featuring remarkably similar architecture. Presumably, it’s the only one of the “Five Sisters” remaining.

The Withlacoochee is an idyllic small river, passing from Berrien County through Cook and Lowndes counties to its confluence with the Suwannee River near Live Oak, Florida. Characterized by generally slow-moving low water, the Withlacoochee River is one of Georgia’s least-known and most-endangered. These photographs were made near a highly populated Valdosta neighborhood and the present growth of the area is a constant concern to the river’s health. It’s my hope, perhaps foolish, that landowners will feel the same way and strive to protect places like this.
And it should be pointed out that there are two Withlacoochee Rivers, the other running from near Polk City to Yankeetown in west-central Florida. Like Georgia’s Withlacoochee for which it’s named, it’s meaning loosely originates from the Creek for “little big water”.
