Solomon Goodwin’s Res.
The house on adjacent knoll built 1831, by Solomon Goodwin (circa 1780-1850), oldest extant house in DeKalb County, was a landmark of Federal military operation in these environs during the summer of 1864.
July 18, Hascall´s div., 23d A.C. having marched from Old Cross Keys & Samuel House plantation, turned S.E. here to camp at Johnston´s Mill on N. Fork Peachtree Creek. Cox´s div. of the 23d A.C. formed the center of the Federal armies moving toward Atlanta on the wide front from the Chattahoochee River.
