Red Sharecropper's House,

Palm Road, Irwin County, Georgia, 2003.

Most of the thousands of sharecropper and tenant farmer houses that once dotted the South Georgia landscape have been demolished or simply fallen victim to the march of time. Those that remain are often utilized as storage or hay barns. They were typically very crude in construction and in protection from the elements, and often housed large families. This is one of my personal favorites.
