We’re still wondering about the story behind this grand house a few miles west of Dexter, Ga., on Georgia Highway 338. It’s got, as they say in the housing industry, great bones and appeared to be under renovation. It’s a little hard to see the beauty of the home, which might remind you of Faulkner’s Rowan Oaks, because of the afternoon shadows from all of the shade trees surrounding it.
Dexter has about 500 people and is a few miles southwest of Dublin, the county seat for Laurens County. Some 23.6 percent of residents of Laurens County (population 48,434) live in poverty.
