Phillips Homeplace
Located opposite the Hutcheson-Redwine Homeplace is the Phillips Homeplace. The house is a gable ell cottage with a rear ell addition. A family cemetery consisting of ten graves is located on a high knoll near the house. A wood picket enclosure surrounds the cemetery site. The Phillips Homeplace conveys the New South landscaping through the stone retaining wall and hardwood trees.The Varner complex contains a residential structure, nonhistoric outbuildings, and a family cemetery. The residential structure is reputed to contain a log structure beneath the current siding, but it appears nonhistoric at a cursory inspection. The Phillips property, situated along Hutcheson Ferry Road, contains a residence and several outbuildings (see photo 6). The L-shaped Phillips House has been altered with the addition of siding and a picture window, but it still retains much of its original detail. The Phillips family cemetery, situated on a high knoll near the house, includes approximately ten graves. Seven are marked with field stones and three with stone markers. A wood picket enclosure surrounds the cemetery site, which is covered in a hardy stand of vinca minor (Periwinkle) groundcover. Hutcheson Ferry Road is not passable by automobile to the west of the residence. A contemporary residence, dating from the 1950s, is located at the end of the improved roadway. The trace of the original road is still apparent in the landscape. Indigenous vegetation lines the route which extends to the river's edge to the site of the former ferry crossing. |

The Varner Complex
The Varner Complex contains a residential structure, nonhistoric outbuildings, and a family cemetery. The residential structure is reputed to contain a log structure beneath the current siding, but it appears nonhistoric at a cursory inspection. The Varner family cemetery is the most elaborate of the family cemeteries found within the district. The cemetery contains about ten marked graves. The most modest mark the graves of the original owners of this tract: J.
H. Varner, died 1836, and Mary Varner, died 1863 or 1868. Other monuments include four boxed graves and several decorative stone monuments, dating from the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
West of the family cemetery, the Varner property contains the site of a former ferry. An original boat structure is reputed to be intact beneath the waters of the Chattahoochee River. Also contained within the property between the river and the cemetery on fairly steep terrain, are what are thought to be military trenches. These long narrow ditches are approximately three to four feet in depth. However, no formal archaeological study has been conducted within the
boundary of the district.
