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.
