This 1907 Craftsman home on Buchanan St, located in the Historic Lagrange-Greenville District, was bought by Terrence & Dera White in 2016. While the details of who originally built the home are unknown, the historical relics of the house are like clues pointing to a bygone era: 13’ ceilings, coal burning fireplaces, plaster walls, heart pine floors, a clawfoot tub, a milk & ice delivery door, and the RD Cole Manufacturing logo on various steel and wood surfaces throughout. Like several houses on LaGrange and Buchanan Streets, 6 Buchanan sits on land once belonging to the Buena Vista estate, backyards of all these historic homes intersecting like spokes of a wheel. Before the tornado that damaged so many properties in Newnan, the mature landscaping which once provided shade and privacy was then replaced with open views and vistas onto the unique landscape of that part of Newnan (not to mention the White’s new outlook on their community). At the farthest corner of the backyard stands the sole surviving tree, a large magnolia that once was hidden among old oaks and shrubbery, now the beloved spot for neighborhood kids to play, the backdrop to a family wedding in 2022, the highest elevation in Newnan (giving a nice view of the courthouse), and steps away from the spot where the old water tower used to stand. If you squint you can practically imagine what the original landscape of old Newnan used to be, like the staggered houses along the hills of an Americana painting.
