I essentially live in (what was at one time) the home’s front yard! It’s supposedly the oldest remaining residential structure in DeKalb County and was built by the son of the man that built the Tullie-Smith house.
I was thrilled when it was on the Medlock Garden Tour last year. Beautiful property & they had a nice “history of” display in the yard.

And it’s still for sale….but at a considerably lower price than the initial 1.3 million!

Glenn Creek and formerly known as Hunters Branch. I have not verified but I have heard Col. Hunter had a still at the spring in the 19th century. One of these days I want to go to DeKalb History Center to see if I can verify, unless someone already knows or beats me to it.

It is strange talk about the 80s as if some far off time, I am getting old!
