I’ve been trying to get to Fairfax ever since seeing Shea Browning’s photograph of this old store, which may have been a commissary for millworkers and lumbermen working the vast pine forests of the area nearly a century ago. Its style, with a false front, is relatively uncommon in Georgia.

The similarity of the architecture in this house and the one just down the tracks in Millwood lead me to think they may have been constructed by the same builder.
