Great architecture still standing
via Burnaway: Jan.27, 2019 article on the creator of this unique Marvel... 'I had no idea that was up there! I thought it was a normal historic house!” says artist Joni Mabe, imitating common reactions to the museums located on her property in Cornelia, Georgia, approximately an hour and a half northeast of Atlanta. The incredulity being parroted by Mabe—who is often called the “Elvis Babe” or “Queen of the King”—is understandable given the unassuming appearance of the early twentieth-century, two-story structure sporting a National Register of Historic Places plaque in its front yard. The prominently displayed plaque describes the lives of Robert Lee Loudermilk and his wife, Phanettia Callie Henderson Loudermilk, and the building’s importance to local residents, travelling salesmen, WPA workers, railroad employees, farmers, and other laborers. At second glance, one detail of this historical marker seems unusual: among the list of sponsors including the City of Cornelia and the Habersham County Historical Society, Georgia rock band R.E.M. is listed first. Why should a rock band take interest in an historic house?'
Its a beautiful house.
A most fascinating place. A superb expression of a loving obsession! We met the creator and were charmed.
