History

The home was constructed circa 1898 and served as a home to several commanders and chiefs of Fort Screven, including Colonel Bugbee.

The home was owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The home was built on a man-made berm to prevent destruction by water from the hurricanes. It was built to the hurricane standards of the time. In the area of 1941-1942, the army sold the property at public Auction.

There are currently many details of the original house that exist. Items such as the Fireplaces and mantles, flooring, pocket doors, staircase, and the tin ceilings. The tin ceilings are of most importance because of their rarity. It is believed these are the only one-piece tin ceilings in the state of Georgia. They were installed right after the house was built to prevent the ceilings from falling during the practice at the rifle range.
