Jack & Louise Hill's House

Back to Andalusia Links
The Hills' House is a modified mid-19th century plantation type cottage.  It is smaller and simpler in detail than the Main House and features two front entrances.  Robert “Jack” and Louise Hill, resident farmers at Andalusia, lived in this house.  Formerly located in the crescent of the
driveway nearer the Main House, it was moved to its current location, approximately 225 feet to the northwest of the Main House, in the late 1940s.  O’Connor refers to the Hills, along with their boarder Willie “Shot” Manson, with humor and affection on several occasions in her letters.

Excluding wetland areas and the acreage detailed above, the remainder of the property consists of timberland.  The timber on the property is divided between pine and hardwood.  These are naturally established stands. The pine species include both loblolly and short-leaf.  The hardwoods are concentrated along branches, creeks, and intermediate slopes and include white and red oak, gum, yellow poplar, hickory, sycamore, and maple trees.
