While the Mystery Photo in the last edition was relatively easy, this one may extend readers a bit. It’s another mill, but the question is where it’s located. Send your ideas to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to include your hometown. Bob Foreman of Grayson sent in the photo.
First in last week was Lynn Naylor of Atlanta: “I believe the pix in today’s issue is from Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville, Ga. It’s been several years since I’ve been there but this building looks familiar.” Bob Foreman of Grayson sent in the photo.
Others getting the photo right include Mark Barlow of Peachtree Corners; Paige Havens of Lawrenceville; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Holly Moore, Suwanee; and Billy Chism, Cleveland.
Michael Green of Milton gave us more details: “The ruined house in the picture is located in Barnsley Gardens, a golf resort on the grounds of an historic former plantation near Adairsville. The plantation, originally known as Woodlands, was established by Godfrey Barnsley, a resident of Savannah, who was originally from Liverpool, England. He built the Italianate house in the late 1840s. His descendants lived in the Woodlands main house until it was severely damaged by a tornado in 1906. The estate was purchased by a German nobleman, Prince Hubertus Fugger in 1988, who began the major project which stabilized the ruins and restored the gardens.”
