Jones Creek Baptist Church, Long County GA. (This congregation dates to 1810, and many of the early members, born in the 1700s, are buried in its historic cemetery. Baptists, while growing in numbers in 1810, were still quite the exception in comparison to Methodists. This structure, dating to 1856 features gender-specific front doors, and a slave's gallery, which would have been where the small, high windows on the front are located.)

Old Well Pavillion, 1907, Ludowici, Long County GA (Topped with local red clay tile from the Dixie-Ludowici factory of German immigrant and town namesake, William Ludowici. An interesting footnote: Due to growing anti-German sentiment in the buildup to WWI, Ludowici briefly changed its name to Liberty City in 1917-18.)
