Situated on 5 1/4 Acres
With 22 pecan, 2 pear, 1 fig,
and numerous oak trees
In 1890 Mr. J.W. Coleman moved from Swainsboro,
Georgia to Colquitt County, GA and purchased 483
acres of land for $900. He had determined that Colquitt
County was well suited for farming and he was right!
In 1893 Mr. Coleman completed the original part of the
house, what is now the dining room and kitchen. In
1894 he married Elizabeth Temples of Bullock County,
GA and immediately brought her to Colquitt County to
live.
In 1903 Mr. Coleman, his wife, and their 3-year-old
daughter, Vista, moved into their newly completed
addition. This beautiful home is framed with heart pine
timber that was cut from Mr. Coleman’s land. He sold
their home in 1906 to Mr. Thaddens H. Parker but it
appears that Mr. Parker never lived in it. Apparently
Mr. Parker purchased the home for investment purposes.
In 1907, Mr. Alfred J. Greene bought the Coleman
home. He and his family lived in this home and farmed
the rich, fertile soil until 1916 when he sold it to the
Ashburn-Murphy Co.
After the Greene’s sold the home it had many occupants
and owners. One noteworthy occupant was the Georgia
State Patrol. It was used as one of three District
Offices and a barracks for their officers and their
families. It was also used as a boarding house for
Colquitt County's schoolteacher's during the late 1900's
and early 1920's.
In 1976 Gene and Gwen Reid bought the home along
with the remaining 10 acres of land. The home was
now back in the ownership of a Greene.
Mrs. Reid is the great-granddaughter of A.J. Greene
who had purchased the home in 1907. Her father was
actually born in this home.
The Reid’s spent many hours and dollars returning this
almost derelict house back into a livable home. They
decorated the home to fit a lifestyle that was conducive
to raising a family and also having a more modern feel
than a Victorian would have had.
During the Reid’s ownership the home was placed on
the National and Georgia Historic Registers. The J.W.
Coleman House, as it is known, is one of only two
homes in Colquitt County to be placed on these registers.
It was deemed worthy of such recognition because of its
architectural style. It is considered Victorian Eclectic
Carpenter style with both Queen Anne and Eastlake
design elements. The turret, referred to as a gazebo, is
unusual because it is an open porch rather an enclosed
part of the house. The historic documentation by the
National Register states, “The Coleman House is
probably the most imposing and elaborate late Victorian
house in Colquitt County, (in or out of Moultrie). It
employs various Queen Anne details including a second
story gazebo and colored glass. Its solid construction in
pine is indicative of the importance of the lumber
industry in the region“
The Reid’s lived in the J.W.Coleman House with their
children until 2001. Once the children moved away,
they decided to sell their home and enjoy a more leisurely
lifestyle.
In 2002 Jim and Linda Tuten purchased the Coleman
House with the dream of returning it to its Victorian
roots and into a Bed & Breakfast. This dream became
reality in 2003.
Your breakfast will be a full gourmet breakfast
consisting of egg dishes, fruits and freshly baked breads
and pastries. If you have special dietary requirements
please make us aware of your situation prior to booking.
We may not be able to accommodate all needs.
Jim and Linda assure you that you will be greeted with
the graciousness of the Victorian era. They want you to
feel you are spending time in a home of a bygone era
while enjoying the modern conveniences that have been
added.
Jim & Linda look forward to seeing you and truly want
you to be relaxed and refreshed after your stay!
