Anderson House, Historic house in Danburg, United States.
Anderson House is a residence in Wilkes County that combines Greek Revival and Romanesque Revival elements. It features classical columns, symmetrical proportions, and rounded arches throughout its structure.
The Greek Revival house probably incorporates an earlier structure from the 1790s and may have been built by Dr. W.D. Quinn; John Anderson built the home as it now stands. Its columns were made in Savannah, while mirrors and cornices came from England. The last Anderson to live there, Miss Pink Anderson, stayed during the Great Depression, when there was no money for upkeep. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The house is tied to the Anderson family; the last Anderson to live there was Miss Pink Anderson, during the Great Depression, when there was no money to maintain it. Old trunks in the attic held "day ledgers" from the store that served the community and the plantation, dating to the late 1800s, along with dressmaker's forms and old clothes.
The house stands on Georgia Route 44 in Danburg, in rural Wilkes County, and is a private residence owned by the Dowling family, so it is not open for tours. Visitors see it from the road; the front porch and columns face the road side. The grounds are unpaved, so dry weather is easier underfoot.
In the attic, old trunks held day ledgers from the store that served the community and plantation, dating to the late 1800s, alongside dressmaker's forms and old clothes. Two pine slave cabins with sleeping lofts stood directly behind the house when Ernest Walker bought it in 1962.
