The Hazlehurst House is nestled
in the heart of the "Geranium City". It's majestic
beauty and stately manor resonates the charm and character
of early America in the South.
The Hazlehurst House, built in 1829 by Abner
Davis, proudly displays its high ceilings, and hand blown
window panes that show markings of what is said to be that
of soldiers during the war between the states. In addition
to the beauty and wonder of the antique timber walls, the
mantles and fireplaces are also original to the home. The
solid wood doors, each with their own individual locks for
protection against Indian attacks, are original as well. The
treasures of history found in this home range from original
deeds of land, and precious love letters dated from 1860,
to the housing of Alexander Stephens, Vice President of the
Confederacy. Three acres of land, replete with magnolia, oak,
and cedar trees, have been the crowning glory since the land
was granted to Ezekial Cloud, a Revolutionary Soldier, in
1827. The rear of the manor is graced with a boxwood hedge
garden said to be over 170 years old. From the early 1800's
to the present, The Hazlehurst House has been a home representing
prominent members of the community and this legacy will live
on. |
