Publisher Description: A documented history of Ashantilly, a McIntosh County, Georgia home built in 1820 by prominent agriculturist Thomas Spalding of Sapelo Island. The architecture of Ashantilly is reviewed as is the successive generations of its ownership and occupants through the last private owner of the house, William G. Haynes, Jr. The story of Ashantilly is set against the backdrop of local history and includes a detailed review by the author of the use of tabby as a building material both at Ashantilly and among the coastal planter and business class of the antebellum period. |
