The Boy’s Room
This is called the “Boy’s
Room” because the boys of the family always lived in this
room. The Honan’s have made this their bedroom because they
love the view from up here.
(Point out the picture on the wall of the
boys that have lived in this room.)
The secretary belonged to
Terry’s great-great-grandfather, John Stewart. His picture
is on the secretary. When the secretary was refinished in
1970, the 1855 newspaper from Columbus was lining one of
the drawers. John Stewart owned a home in Columbus and a
large plantation on the Georgia side of the Chattahoochee
River across from where Lake Point State Park is now
located.
The cedar chest was made by William Petry. Note the
beautiful hand cut dovetails.
The ledger on the cedar chest belonged to Mollie Hyatt
Petry’s father, Montross Hyatt.
