A rare photo of the Old Thomas house at the northwest corner of Thomas' Cross Road (Old Macon Road and Old Hawkinsville Road. The area was settled by the Thomas family as early as 1807 and was the governmental center of Laurens County when the first county courthouse was built.
The house, possibly more than 175 years old, was purchased by Gov. George M. Troup, of Laurens County before his death in 1856. It remained in the family for nearly a half century. For many years, the property was owned by Howard L. Cordell, Sr.. Tragically, the house burned several years ago.
