    Confederate Major and state senator George Peavy built this Gothic Revival house around 1870. He and his wife were well-known hosts of social functions and it was a center of activity in Greenville for many years. Later owners were the McLaughlin and Flynn families.

  • Notes 
    • He was known to his contemporaries as "Major" PEAVY, having served with the Confederate Armies. He was a lawyer and did all the legal work for the clan, even after he moved to Newnan, Coweta, GA. He married twice; first to Myrtis Freeman, then to Eugenia "Genie" C. Kener. George was elected to the Georgia State Senate.
