SmugMug > keywords > national register of historic places > The "Rock House" (c.1785) According to the historical marker, this is the oldest house in Georgia . I was lucky to meet a nice lady named Dot Jones (she just happened to be visiting that day), she is the head of the McDuffie County historical society. She proudly told me of the time she met Jimmy Carter, giving him a tour of the Rock House. She informed me that all of the stone on this house is from the original structure. I enjoyed listening to the many stories she had to share with me. .......................................................................................................................................... This 18th Century stone dwelling is the only surviving house associated with the Colonial Wrightsboro Settlement (1768). Its builder, Thomas Ansley, used weathered granite, quarried in its natural form from the nearby geographic fall line, as building material. The granite, along with pine timbers and cypress shingles, gave the house a distinctive Ga. Character. The architectural style of the Rock House is similar to stone houses in the Delaware Valley of New Jersey from which Ansley migrated. It is the earliest dwelling in Georgia with its original architectural form intact. Ownership of the Rock House passed to Nicholas C. Bacon in the 1840's and in the 1880's to the Johnson family, who mainted it as a working plantation until the 20th Century. The Johnson heirs, Effie Johnson Usry and Mary Ruth Johnson McNeil gave the house to the Wrightsboro Quaker Community Foundation, Inc. in 1966, who restored the house in 1981.

When the plantation became economically self-sufficient, it acquired a post office and was renamed Smithonia. At the time of his death, Mr. Smith owned over 17,000 acres in Madison and Oglethorpe Counties alone, plus more land in adjacent counties. "All the land next to mine, that's all I want" he used to say...a modest man indeed.
