On Whipple Rd. opposite the front of the stone mill is the John Whipple House, built in 1752 by Thomas Owen, one of the first settlers in Georgiaville. On the front lawn of this two-and-one-half-story, gray frame structure, is a beautiful buttonwood tree.

The house is white with black shutters today versus the gray in 1937. It appears a small addition to the right has been added. The house is in good repair. This house was built by Thomas Owen and then sold to Joseph Farnum.
