10 BGW - Massey-Wilson House/Smith and Telfair Home Site:

P.T. Massey built this handsome Italianate house in 1885 on the knoll where the families of town founder John Smith and Dr. Alexander F. Telfair formerly lived. Massey was the county’s most influential Republican politician in the late 19th century. He served as Clerk of Superior Court during Reconstruction and later as a U.S. tax collector, raiding numerous illicit liquor stills in the area.
