Haynes House On Highway 129 north at the NE corner of Sam Black Road about one mile from Quillians Corner one of the very few antebellum structures in the North Hall area was constructed. There is no record of it serving as a Tavern but it was built on the first stagecoach route from Dahlonega to Clarkesville, it no doubt served many weary people. A remnant of the old road still exists. About a mile from this point the Phillip Byrd store was located and the Argo Post Office. Though it has been known as the Haynes House no one knows who built it.
