The last mystery came from Rick Krause of Lilburn. Several people figured out the mystery, including the reliable George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who wrote: “This is the Carmichael House, 149 McDonough Road, Jackson, Ga. It was built by John Robert (J.R.) Carmichael, a prosperous businessman and buggy maker, as a home for his family of 11 children. The prestigious Atlanta architectural firm of Bruce and Morgan was selected to design and construct the mansion. Construction began in late 1897. By summer of 1898, the imposing Queen Anne Victorian home was completed for the sum of $16,000.The Carmichael House is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the finest examples of Queen Anne Victorian architecture in the state.”
Others finding the correct identity included Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C. and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, who added: “The house continued to serve as the home for some of Carmichael’s family members after J.R.’s death in 1908. Eventually it was sold and subdivided for use as apartments during the Great Depression. It was later restored and served as a bed and breakfast and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1977. More recently, it was purchased by the Garrett and Beck families in January 2016, who renovated the house and expanded the grounds, and reintroduced the property to the public in October 2018 as an elegant wedding venue and event center.”
