Some other structures of interest from Forsyth County.
Between 1993 and 1995 an Historic Resource Survey was conducted to determine if any houses in the county had the potential to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of the homes that were on the list have since been destroyed or are in serious disrepair.
Note: This list is from the 1990's and may be out of date. If you are aware of any updates, please feel free to send me the information. A survey of these properties is underway to determine their condition, ownership, etc. This website will be updated with pictures of the structures as they become available.
Much of the following data with updates from county records by Bill McBrayer were typed
from the Historic Resources Survey by Annette Bramblett.
Photographs and current conditions were contributed by Pam Wolf and John Salter.
A special thank you to Anastasia Alkema, a professional photographer from Cumming,
who has kindly volunteered her time to photograph many of the structures.
The following are still under investigation - More to follow
