The Jackson House - Rayle, GA

This picturesque vernacular cottage is available for relocation! Owned by the City of Rayle, the historic Jackson House is now threatened by imminent demolition to make way for a park. A comfortable floor plan offers six large, light-filled rooms with (mostly) original six-over-six windows of Greek Revival proportion. The wide central hall is flanked by two rooms at each side. A kitchen ell offers two additional rooms, each accessing a rear porch. Though currently lowered in most spaces, ceilings are 12’ in height. Three original fireplace mantels remain, each reflecting the transitional architectural styles. Floors are a mix of original heart pine and oak that was later added to the central hall and one front room, in early 20th century fashion. Look closely and one will find the shadows of the original Italianate portico that once graced the front of the home. All structure remains sound and in very good condition.
