This is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. Waller in Beaver Dam Branch section 
of Jones County. It has been photographed many times because of its uniquely 
beautiful chimney and still few weeks go by without several visitors from all 
over the east dropping in to marvel at the construction of the home, its 
chimney, its walnut staircase and the beautiful hand made mantle and cornice 
work in the Waller living room. The space here will not permit a full history 
of the handsome old home. Waller, a Lenoir Contain bought the place from Adam 
Barry Strong, in whose family the plantation had been for at least 153 years. 
On record in the courthouse at Trenton is a transaction between David Barry 
and Bridger Jones for either this or an adjoining tract of land, which is 
dated July 17, 1786. No matter what its history today the Waller’s have 
restored it to a measure of the beauty it once knew.
