The Hunt House, Never More

This is the Hunt House.  Or was the Hunt House.  The house burned down years ago. The Hunt House was on Butler Street.  But even that has changed, the same land is now on Atlanta Street.  The city has plowed through Powers Barber Shop and paved it which physically extended Atlanta Street.

In the Civil War this house served as a hospital.  When Mary Phagan was murdered her grandfather lived in it.  About 15 or so years after Mary Phagan’s grandparents lived there Anna’s mother Marie lived there as a child.  Then, in the 1940s on up for a while the Hunt family of Hunt Ice Cream lived there.  Then, we used to play touch football on the side lawn. (don’t ask how good of a player I was).

Now, poof!  It is gone!
