That home was my dad's grandfather's home . The first Nolan home is quarter of a mile down the road from the second home . The third Nolan was in Rutledge Georgia . How I knew about this , I am a living member of that family .
Nolan was a very rare name at that time, especially this spelling. I’ve been doing research on my great grand-dad and his father who was born in Henry County, GA. Quince Nolan, was a pilar of his the McDonough, GA community, and an attorney who later became a judge. My great-great grandfather, Wash Nolan, was born around 1868 and is classified as “mulatto” race on every document that I’ve been able to view about him so far. He was born in Henry County, Georgia which means that my great-great-great grand mother was likely enslaved by Quince Nolan, as well as had some kind of inappropriate relationship with him. It’s a very likely that you and I are distant cousins, Tom. Courtesy of our ancestors.
Thank you for the tour! How wonderful it must have looked in its prime filled with furniture of the era. Beautiful country-like surrounding property too. Unfortunately now it’s very close to the end of its life. Looks like there is no cellar and foundation and those brick supports under the house are falling apart not to mention all the rot and damage inside. Of course with an endless supply of money it could still be saved but between all new plumbing, electrical, heating, windows, and structural, you are easily looking at $2 million .......buyers with that kind of money either don’t come along that often or if they do, then can have a brand new home constructed in vintage style for less money.
The Nolan family still owes that property according to a relative of theirs I have spoken to. I don’t understand why the Nolan family lets this rot. Its proximity alone to Athens makes it worth at least $350,00 as is, would love to see it restored its far worse now.
That house should be declared a historical sight and restored . That house is part of this countries history . People could learn a great deal about a time in in this countries history . So much of it is being g lost .
I lived in the South for a year and a half ( NC - against the coast ) and the South has some beautiful houses . Never had the pleasure of going to Georgia, but I’m sure it’s worth seeing. I lived here in Pennsylvania most of my life, ( the culture shock of the South was a bit much for me, so I moved back North . ) But because my dad is in real estate, I have learned much .. /10 years of my childhood I lived in a CW era Italianate / , and the structure of those old homes is amazing. ( Dad was a Cop before retiring and selling houses , and it’s amazing how he can still appreciate old houses, and the appraisal rates , wow ! ) They hold value better than any modern day home . This place is definitely worth fixing up , ( it’s stunning. ) If I could get over myself and think about moving back South , it would be a dream come true to have a beautiful place like that.
The plantation owners were so incredibly wealthy, it shows from the material their homes were built of and the craftsmanship that we can still see in this home today.
Hi love is old house I'm also a Nolan but in Pennsylvania I built classic cars and paint them stuff from the junk anything that's old is got a lot of history behind it thanks for sharing this
Beautiful old home place. Looks well cared . It amazes me how homes this old are still standing, and the newer homes are doing good if. Iht last 30 years!
Back in 1951 when I was in the first grade my teachers name was miss Nolan I'll never forget her she was very sweet. It was in Forest Park Ga. I now live in phx. Az.🐦
Vandals have really tore that house up. The first time I saw it, all the windows were intact. I just finished a watercolor piece from a photo I took in there.
Our 4000 square foot home in Texas was costing us four to five hundred dollars per month for A/C alone. Just imagine what this old frame house would cost to maintain even after it is restored. That said, shame on the current owners for letting it rot. You can always sell it to some one that gives a damn about the property and structure.
Notice no electrical outlets or switches and lack of any plumbing? That house has sat empty quite awhile. I'm thinking the building on the very back, was the kitchen of the house. Too bad others are destroying it.
The Irish immigrants moved to America during the potato famine in Ireland in 1847. The potato was a major staple in the Irish diet and without it many Irish people perished. Moving to America to work on the railroad, or other odd jobs came easy because the Irish are hard workers. Nolan is an Irish name and one of those immigrants who moved to America, one of my ancestors.
Some of my family came to Georgia from Ireland back in the early 1700’s as indentured servants. I think we also had one or two come to South Georgia in the 1600’s. Now we live right down the road from this house.
Have you seen this house in Walton County off of 20 that was owned by a circus and has a bunch of circus equipment in the back, I live right by it. It looks really cool and interesting with all the stuff in the back but looks abandoned for a while would like to know information
Awesome, but it's ashame vandals came knocking at its door. Hopefully it will be restored. It would nice if state of Georgia would restore it and turn it into a museum.
I believe I just saw this house used in a little indie film called The Giant, which was filmed in the Madison area (fictitiously called 'Monroeville' in the film).
Still is good wood ceiling the floor are strong good well .. Should fix new things .. Why is That Empty in Georgia??? Still Good Strong Building inside House ...
The house dates from the early 1900s, so not really a "plantation" house. There might have been another house on that land previously. I drive by this house semi-often on my way to the mountains from Savannah and it has really gone down in the last 10 years. It was more a center piece of a working farm that had some tenant farmers. Somebody even cut the hardware out of the front door. In this day and age you can't let anything valuable sit unattended it will get stolen away for sure. It looks like is well on it's way to wrack and ruin and will have to be torn down soon. Very sad.
@@melaniew4354 I'm from California most of the old Victorian houses are made from redwood All the old growth redwood are almost gone Use to be 4×8 slabs in them Victorian houses The Asians took bought and shipped the 4x8 slabs Do u know what a redwood burl is?
It would be nice since the house has history if it could be restored to it's beauty by someone who loves old mansions. You see alot of these old plantations in disrepair and it is very sad. It's almost like left behind and forgotten.
Because most of the architectural and decorative elements such as fireplace mantles, hardware, and fixtures have been removed from this structure, “historic preservation” isn’t the correct approach here. What is required for a structure in this advanced state of decomposition is “historic reconstruction”. Assuming that someone chose to invest in restoring the house to “original condition” there should be extensive research and preparation prior to swinging the first hammer. Some of those preliminary steps would be: a systematic photographic recording of the entire structure, architectural renderings of the present structure with precise measurements of all elements, architectural plans of the newly reconstructed house with HVAC, plumbing, electrical (security, media, landscape wiring), parking structures, outbuildings, etc. The first on-site construction (perhaps the parking structure) would need to serve temporarily as protection for the lumber, molding, trim, and all salvaged materials from the old house. Which brings me to the most controversial part of my plan, leveling the current structure once all salvageable material had been removed. At that point reconstruction following all applicable codes could proceed per the new architectural plans. Of course the time to locate and the cost of purchasing period appropriate elements, hardware, and fixtures for a structure of this size would be extensive. Period furnishings if desired would be another major expense. A project like this using top talent and materials would easily cost several million dollars. The house is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Georgia Hwy 83 and Nolan Store Rd. Google Earth shows no eyesores in the surrounding area and the closest occupied residence appears to be a good distance away. Maybe the current owners of this house were the ones who removed the fireplace mantles etc. for safekeeping. I hope this home has a useful future.
Unless you are a millionaire the cost to redo this beautiful building would be monumental . I know if I owned a building like that I would be very sad to not be able to afford to save it ! Why do people have to do awful things like knocking out the windows ! What a unnecessary nasty thing to do ! Thanks for the look .
Sure hate seeing this old homestead in ruins. It’s also sad to see the disrespect people show by busting all the windows and stealing the interior doors and mantles.
That could be ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS again, but it would take upwards to a million dollars to repair it properly. That's why so many WALK AWAY, because they don't have the money for repairs.
I was “raised” in Rutledge, GA. I knew the Nolans well. I have had lunch in this house when it was in it’s prime. It pains me to see the theft that has taken place. Notice the front door and the missing fireplace mantels. It is a wonder that someone hasn’t tried to steal the crowns off of the columns. Sad to see this!
I have Photos, Paintings, and Drawings of it from the 1970's when I was in Graduate school at UGA. .....if it is the same place I am thinking of. When I was there I just knew "for some spooky reason" that there wasa graveyard nearby. So I walked about 50 yards further from the house and there is a family cemetary. It is good to know it is still standing. I wish I could meet the present owners and show pictures.
It would be close to $1m to restore that house and make it livable to modern standards. Actually, probably $1m+. Unless someone has the love of old homes and that kind of money and time to throw down a money pit, it will be slowly taken back by nature. Sad but, reality.
So tragic for this house to go to waste... We have similar ones in my community.. But, most are restored! Either restore it or tear it down . Why purchase it and let it rot slowly?
That home was my dad's grandfather's home . The first Nolan home is quarter
of a mile down the road from the second home . The third Nolan was in Rutledge Georgia . How I knew about this , I am a living member of that family .
Any idea if the people that own it plan to restore it ?
I'd love to live in this home
Thank you for sharing! Do you still live in the area?

a beautiful piece of history...
I've got some good pics of this old home from about 6 yrs ago. What a beautiful home and beautiful land it sits on!
I could imagine how the house would look like restored Stunningly beautiful ❤
These old places really get a hold on me. Favorite dreams are I win the lottery and completely repair them. I wish I could.
I think it’s tragic and a disgrace to let beautiful historic homes like this go into disrepair.
Thanks for showing. Still a great house.
Your locations are awesome, and you show a lot of the craftsmanship in the homes. I love the old old stuff.
Thanks for taking us along. So sad to see this beautiful place in such condition.
These places should be part of thr historic preservation society so thye will be kept up and people cam tour them and learn history
They should be burned. Built by slaves
some of them have been preserved exactly as you said.
@minerran glad to hear that. ❤️
I hate it to
Thank you for the tour!
Yep been inside it. Walked all through it. It's ashamed no one has worked on it to make it better
House is gorgeous. Hope restored...
Looks like it was a well built structure back in its heyday

Not surprised that this was in Morgan County. Beautiful old homes in that area especially in the county seat of Madison.

This home was technically built post Civil War and slavery in the early 1900s.

Callaway plantation is in Georgia. It's part of museum. Very beautiful and it's restored. Wish this one could be. It's got such possibility.
What a Beauty......too bad the Historical Society .....doesn't get it and use the grounds for a State Park. Thank You for Sharing. 🍃🌎🕊
Hard to see these lonely lonely looking places once bustling with laughter, activity and life.
Wish we knew when these mansions were built and the history behind them.

Forest park is so different now, I’m sure you know that. Hello from Georgia!
How many acres did it originally have? Beautiful old floors and woodwork. Nice accent, btw.
Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic video. Good time's those owners would have had.

No, sir, this is a much smaller house than Tara.

Slavery was, gone with the wind when that was built.
Wow! I’d live there. I don’t suppose that there’s any chance that they would be interested in selling.
Sad what has happened to this house
When I win the lottery tonight I'm going to buy that old house and restore it ❤️
Wow plantation.....
Built with slaves blood, sweat, and tears, I'm sure the Nolan family is VERY proud of all their ancestors great achievements.
I love those old civil war houses... i bet the war passed rite threw that yard and fields around it.
The house wasn’t there
I would totally love to have it remarkable I live in it personally
HISTORIC COOL HOME
So tragic for this house to go to waste... We have similar ones in my community.. But, most are restored! Either restore it or tear it down . Why purchase it and let it rot slowly?
so pretty plenty of space for the whole family .
I wish I want to live here forever
This home is no longer standing. So sad it was never restored.
That is heartbreaking.
Wrong. It was still “standing” several weeks ago when I passed by!
New project???🤔🤔🤔🤔
You will never find the newer homes 100 years from now still standing

I know exactly where that is there is an old store across the side roed .
I was hoping you would NOT fall through the floor!!!
Don’t understand why owners don’t do anything with it🤷🏻♀️😏
Someone is working on this house
So bad it was vandalized and the mold has taken over. :(
Get something over those upstairs windows, still has good structure, level,dry.❤😊
Why did they let it go to ruin. It is a shame
Roof ceiling and foundation
It would cost alot 100,000
Thumbs down........ Why do people explore these places, and point the cameras at the floor for the entire video ...??????
Do you ever get called out for trespassing on old properties
That's some cool stuff
Is it redwood?
Ever find them flat head nails?
SOW GOOD SEEDS🤔🤔🤔?
THIS TO SHALL PASS.
Gone with the wind
In 1985 I could’ve bout the house on 7ac of land for 12,000,00. I believe from Norris Bryan’s. 1:11
Greek revival architecture...if the walls could talk
Not a plantation house.
Far out, man!
You went too fast.
They should fix it up or completely demolish it..The Land can be reused..
