City of Baconton

The George W. Jackson House was built in 1891 and is the focal point of the City. It is significant architecturally, as the largest and most impressive Victorian era residence in Baconton. Its size, overall design, detailing, and degree of integrity render it an extraordinary local building. The house is significant in local history as the home of George W. Jackson, heir to the mid-nineteenth century Jackson estate. He was one of the earliest and largest pecan growers in the area. He was also one of the two principal developers of Baconton. The Jackson-Davis House is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The structure was acquired in the Fall of 1995 by the City of Baconton with plans to restore the old home to its former glory.
