Fletcher Henderson House, Historic house in Cuthbert, United States.
The Fletcher Henderson House is a residential building built in 1888 with Victorian-style architecture and detailed woodwork throughout its rooms. The structure retains many of its original design features and materials from when it was first constructed.
The house was built in 1888 and became home to Fletcher Hamilton Henderson, an African American educator who lived there for 64 years. His work in education influenced the local school systems and community development during that period.
The house is also known as Henderson-Burroughs House, and its name links two families: the Hendersons, who lived there for 64 years, and the Burroughs, later owners. Fletcher Hamilton Henderson was the leading black educator in Cuthbert, and his sons Fletcher Jr. and Horace were born here, in 1897 and 1903.
The house stands in Cuthbert, Randolph County, Georgia, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The sources do not document an address, opening hours or guided tours, so visitors should confirm access locally before travelling. It is a private historic residence, not a staffed museum.
Fletcher Henderson Jr. was born in this house on December 18, 1897, and his brother Horace on November 23, 1903. Their father, professor Fletcher Hamilton Henderson, lived here for 64 years and was Cuthbert's leading black educator. The house is also known as the Henderson-Burroughs House.
