| House History and Info | ||
| Second oldest house in Thomaston, it was built in 1833 by John E. Pettigrew as a one and a half story house with a full attic. In 1840 Benjamin B. White purchased the house, and added an additional bedroom, a dining room and kitchen, and a large verandah across the back of the residence. During the 1880's the house came into the possession of the Stamps family, who lived there until 1968. This house was originally located on North Church Street and was moved in 1968 to its present location by the Upson Historical Society to save it from demolition. In 2023, the house was reinterpreted to depict a home of the early 1940s, and now serves as the setting for "Thomaston Goes to War on the Homefront," a joint World War II exhibition of the Thomaston-Upson Archives and the Upson Historical Society. Admission is Free. |
