North Harris Street, Sandersville, Georgia is one of those beautiful sleepy Southern streets.
General Sherman slept on this street, at the Brown House, during the Civil War. He did not burn down the city.
That was mighty generous of him. I will show this house on another post.
These photos are from houses on the left side of the street driving north on state Highway 15.
It was extremely hot so I never made it to the right side of the street. Yes, I am a wimp.
This house looks like a pink wedding cake!
This house has no paint, just like our old house. They are made from fat lighter and will not rot but will catch fire easily. It has the best door with lovely details.
This house is my favorite. I think. It is hard to decide. Those columns…gracious!
Look at those porches. Can you see yourself in a rocking chair reading the paper?
Afternoon tea anyone?
Thanks bunches for joining me on the left side of the street. When I visit the right side of the street you will see the garden at the Brown House.
grace surrounds us

Love the view! I would have loved to have seen more of these when we lived down there. These old stately homes have so much history and character! Thanks for the tag along!

These houses are so lovely. They really speak of another time, a slower pace. Thanks so much for sharing these photos.

Olive, I just love seeing those big old houses. Oh, how someone needs to fix up the second one you showed. It could be so pretty.

Those big old houses always tug at my heartstrings! I could move in to any one of them and would love to sip tea or take a nap on all of those grand porches!
