Here’s a hint about today’s Mystery Photo: it was not taken in Georgia. Now go forth and try to figure out where this beautiful photo was made, sending your idea to elliottt@brack@gmail.com. Be sure to tell us where you live.
The last mystery was around here, as Stewart Woodard, Lawrenceville said: “It is one of the homes of the Bona Allen family in Buford. This was originally the Bona Allen Jr. home at 375 East Main Street. Now a private residence, it was built in 1908, a classic Greek Revival style. It is further west of the Bona Allen mansion and grounds.” The photo was made by George Graf of Palmyra, Va. when visiting Gwinnett last fall.
Others identifying the home were Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Allen Peel, San Antonio, Tex.who added: “There are many houses in historic downtown Buford that bear his family’s name, including the First Bona Allen Home (1891); Kate Allen Shadburn House, aka “Stonehenge” (1904); Bona Allen, Jr. Home (1908), today’s mystery photo; Victor Allen Estate (1908); John Q. Allen Home (1912); and Bona Allen Mansion (1913). Two other Allen homes, now demolished, that were built in the area: Clarence Allen Home (demolished in 1941) and H. Wadleigh Allen Home (demolished in the 1970s).”
