It highlights the careful merging of two separate houses, the round-headed fireplace openings, and a chimney with glazed headers in a repeating diamond pattern, of which only a few similar examples survive in Georgia. It also notes ties to the Cabiness and Hunt families and to local Civil War events.","narrative":"Located between Round Oak and Wayside in Jones County, Georgia, this frame house is really two houses in one. The older section, the Cabiness House, was built around 1810 by George Cabiness or his son Harrison. It is a plain two-story, beaded weatherboard house raised on brick piers, with paneled mantels and a chimney whose glazed bricks form a repeating diamond pattern. In 1850 Thomas Hunt bought it and, needing more room for his nine young children, moved his own house from a neighboring land lot and joined it to the Cabiness section. A quarter-turn stairway and later rear and porch-level additions followed. The house is regarded as an early example of rural Georgia architecture, built soon after the area was opened to settlement, and for its successful union of two distinct buildings. It also reflects the Cabiness and Hunt families and nearby Civil War events. It is used only occasionally by hunters, and restoration is planned.","period_of_significance":"19th Century","architect_builder":"George Cabiness and/or his son Harrison Cabiness (Cabiness House)","architectural_style":"Pioneer/Greek Revival elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as fair.
