Andrew J. Cheney House

The house was built in 1856 for Andrew Jackson Cheney, a planter and slaveholder, who lived here with his wife, née Lucy Swift.^[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the house was occupied by the Union Army. Specifically, General William Tecumseh Sherman was stationed in the house on June 23–25, 1864.^[2]

After the war, Cheney hired freedmen as sharecroppers on his plantation.^[2] His first wife died, and he married Nancy Hammack.^[2] Their son, John Percival Cheney, who served as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, inherited the house.^[2] It was purchased by John E. Mozley in the 1930s, followed by Kenneth Newcomer in the 1950s.^[2] As of October 2016, it is occupied by the current owner.

The house was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.^[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 22, 1979.^[1]
