Mediterranean Revival House, Circa 1924, Elberton
This is one of the most modern of Elberton’s historic homes, built during the peak of popularity of exotic architectural revivals. It has been restored in recent years but looks much as it would have when first built. While the style was most popular in California and Florida, there are scattered examples throughout Georgia, notably on Sea Island. One has to imagine that someone the builder of a house of this type in Elberton in the 1920s was quite progressive and knowledgeable of architectural styles of the era. I imagine it was met with quite a bit of disdain from its neighbors, as it would have been viewed as quite unconventional at the time.
