The location of this house is sometimes noted as Limerick. Maps generally assign it as such; traditionally, the area just east of here on Limerick Road was known as Limerick, but in recent years, marsh-encroaching developments have largely absorbed it. Because an active population of freed slaves lived in the immediate area after the War Between the States, signage on US Highway 17 now indicates the neighborhood as Freedmen’s Grove. Just west of here, across US 17 is a monument to Joseph Williams, the Bahamian-born founder of Presbyterianism among Georgia’s African-Americans.

From the 1760s to 1785, this was the site of Dr. Lyman Hall’s rice plantation. The home located there was destroyed by invading British troops in 1778. Dr. Hall, who was a member of nearby Midway Church, was one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence for Georgia.
