Donehoo-Brannen House, Historic house in Statesboro, Georgia.
The Donehoo-Brannen House is a two-and-a-half-story Classical Revival house completed in 1917 at 332 Savannah Avenue. Its floor plan is asymmetrical: a central entrance opens into a large front parlor with no central hall, while the second floor has an L-shaped hall. Walls are 18-inch common bond brick, with Tiger oak flooring downstairs and heart-pine upstairs.
The Donehoo-Brannen House was completed in 1917 to a design by Georgia-born architect Edward Columbus Hosford, who also oversaw the 1914 renovations to the Bulloch County Courthouse. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1995, and is also part of the Savannah Avenue Historic District. The house replaced an earlier residence on the site, that of W. M. Foy, which burned in 1915.
The house represents the prosperity and architectural aspirations of early 20th-century Statesboro, serving as both private residence and symbol of Classical Revival trends in rural Georgia communities.
Located at 332 Savannah Avenue within the Savannah Avenue Historic District, visitors can view the exterior architecture though interior access remains limited as a private residence.
Architect Edward Columbus Hosford, who designed this house, also renovated the Bulloch County Courthouse in 1914 and created numerous civic buildings across Florida, Georgia, and Texas.
