A. T. Fuller was one of the best-known landowners and timber operators in south central Georgia for a good part of the 20th century. I made these film photographs of his headquarters in 2001.  The structures were razed not long after, but represent an important era in the development of South Georgia. (The top two shots illustrate the warehouse, and the bottom image features the office.

That’s my reflection in the middle of the image, and the McDonald House to the right. The owners of the South Georgia Timber Company have a wonderful collection of antique bottles, forestry tools, and turpentine ephemera in their storefront. Stop by and take a look!
