Southern Pines Association Chimney and Eyebrow Windows

Driving through one of Valdosta's historic districts I came upon this next 'find' and wanted to learn more about its decorative chimney. During my research I've learned this is one feature that is easily recognizable and somewhat of a 'signature' of certain companies. As I suspected, I found a sketch of that chimney in notes I'd taken and found it was another Southern Pines Association plan house. Sadly, missing from the Valdosta home were the namesake Eyebrow Windows, but even in my poor photographs (which I'm sure to replace at some point) several other characteristics match up.

A Pair of Colonials and a Possible Sears House?

Valdosta's predecessor was Troupeville. In fact, much of Troupeville picked up and moved a few miles east to take advantage of the railway and thus Valdosta was born. Troupeville, GA was named after Governor Troup, but for unknown reasons Troup Street in Valdosta appears as both "Troup" and "Troupe" depending on the source, and the same goes for the town itself. However you spell it, Troup Street is absolute gem in terms of relatively untouched homes circa early 1900s. On my most recent trip I started at the south end of Troup Street near the Salvation Army building and immediately noticed a dutch(?) colonial. This find was special for a few reasons: one being its not a common style around here, and additionally its not a personal favorite style of architecture so it tends to visually stand out to me, and it was my first colonial. A few blocks north I found another colonial, this one I believe to be a good match to the Sears Van Jean.

In the background a view of the front/side (interchangeably). I will get better pictures, but note the semicircle window. Also a good match are the windows (original, I think) in the 2nd story center. Those are a ringer. I'll link an article where differences are noted in other examples. 

A Trio of Airport Bungalows

To some a rare find, but Valdosta boasts 3 fine examples of an airport bungalow. A small backstory to how these came to my attention: as a student at VSU I frequented the KFC on Ashley St. and occasionally would eat in the parking lot. It was then I noticed the building next door that KFC appeared to be using as storage was kind of unique and odd. Fast forward 10+ years and I'm telling my grandmother about this same building and explaining its actually a 1920's bungalow, not a Sears house, but an interesting 'find' nonetheless, and she goes on to tell me that coincidentally her lifelong friends had once owned a 'look-a-like' home not far from there. She was sure they were twins, as it was made known to her decades earlier. And finally, after several months of research I came across an article in the most recent edition of the Lowndes County historical Society's newsletter, link here. The focus of the article is geared more toward 'bungalows' and not Sears houses, in fact the author doesn't mention 'Sears' house or 'kit house' in the article. But one thing I did glean from the article was the existence of a third (wow!) airport bungalow south of the business district. Here are photos from those houses in that order.

These are 'plan book houses' from Southern Pine Association. I need to look into this further as my father has mentioned local lumber company and early Valdosta influence, Langdale Lumber may have played a role in the abundance of great specimens.

I thought it was a Sears Osborn. I submitted these pictures for review on Rosemary's Facebook group. I'll link that discussion here if I'm able to, and if not I'll copy pertinent information Update: Rachel believes this house is patterned off a Osborn (that is in itself a 'chicken-or-the-egg' type debate). One feature missing are the vents/slits in the front stucco portion of the columns. Its not surprising that this house was my first 'find' as its a unique design, especially for south Georgia. Notice the wood brackets that complete the decorative columns. I have not been inside this house to search for any evidence and Lowndes County tax records are incomplete due to a fire. I'm sure I'll revisit this in the future.
