| Description: | Photograph of the Brown-Stetson-Sanford House in Milledgeville, Georgia, the former home of the State's Rights Hotel. The Federal style house features a two-story porch which extends across the three center bays of the five bay front. A short brick staircase leads to the raised first level of the porch. An historical marker stands in the front yard. Until its closure in 1847, the hotel catered to state legislators while the Georgia General Assembly was in session and served as the state headquarters of the Whig Party. This structure was moved from its original location on North Wilkinson Street to West Hancock Street in 1966. |
