👻 Spooky Athens Real Estate 🏡

🚪Lustrat House - Located at 230 S Jackson St. Built in 1847, the 7th oldest building on campus, and served as housing for faculty. The house is named after its last occupant, Joseph Lustrat, head of the Department of Romance Languages. The house was originally built a little farther away from where it sits now. This decision did not sit well with its current occupant, Dr. Morris. He refused to move with the home and quit his job at the university because of it. Though it’s said, Dr. Morris did eventually move with the home… but only after his death. Now it gets spooky… apparitions of Dr. Morris have been seen sitting in his favorite chair by the fire, quietly rocking back and forth… back and forth… all night long. Furthermore, a mist appears and takes shape of a tall man in a Confederate army uniform. Another figure in uniform has been seen standing in a window. This is said to be former resident “the admiral,” Professor Charbonnier. In the 1970’s the home underwent renovations bricking up the fireplaces. Sightings of Dr. Morris have drastically diminished since. Is he upset his beloved cozy fireplace is gone? Current faculty in the Office of Legal Affairs residing in the Lustrat House claim they have had no recent sightings or apparitions of any kind. Did the ghost leave? Or are they waiting for just right visitor to show themselves once more?

🏛️This week… Candler Hall - Built in 1901 as a dormitory. Named after Governor Allen Daniel Candler. The design for the hall resembled Buckingham Palace so students at the time called themselves the “Barons of Buckingham” and had many rivalries with the other two dorms. All in fun and games until Chancellor Charles Snelling was doused in ammonia while breaking up a fight. The “Barons” were eventually moved from the dorm in 1918 when it was used as an infirmary during the Spanish Flu Epidemic. In 1942, the hall was renovated for use by the US Navy Pre-Flight School and renamed Yorktown Barracks. One quick year later the hall was returned to the University, the same year female students began being housed in the dorm. Winter of 1966 was the last time it was used to house students. Renovations in 2003 turned the hall into offices and restored many original features. Currently, Candler Hall is home to the Department of International Affairs. Now to the spooky part… during its time as a dormitory, it had a rather creepy reputation. Students reported waking from sleep and sensing a presence in their room standing over their bed. The notorious stairwell has reports of one student passing someone on the stairwell, but no one being there. And another hearing sounds of chains being dragged up the stairs. It’s said that if you play a game of bridge in room 13 a man with a dagger will appear. One former student was reading on that same stairwell and saw this figure pointing a dagger straight at him. He was later found by other students passed out in the stairwell. Who is this mysterious man? Could it possibly be senior William Samuel Lloyd, who accidentally discharged his gun into his abdomen and passed away while in his dorm room? Or could it have been a man who was said to have hanged himself inside? With Candler Hall having existed for over 100 years we will never know how many souls may have passed through… take a stroll through Candler Hall or maybe set up a nice bridge game in room 13… find out for yourself

T.R.R. Cobb house, originally located on Prince Avenue. Built in 1834, gifted to Marion & Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb as a wedding gift from Marion’s father, Chief Justice Joseph Lumpkin. T.R.R. passed away in 1862 during the Civil War. Marion sold the home in 1873. Used as a rental, fraternity house, & boarding for UGA students. 1962, the Archdiocese of Atlanta purchased the property. 1984, the Stone Mountain Memorial Association bought & moved it to Stone Mountain Park. It sat untouched for two decades due to budgetary constraints. 2004, the Watson-Brown Foundation worked with the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation & the ACC Heritage Foundation to purchase the home. 2005 the house was returned to Athens & placed at 175 Hill Street in the Cobbham historic district, two blocks from its original location. The home underwent detailed restoration to reflect the styles of the time. 2007, it was opened to the public as a museum. 2008, the Georgia Trust awarded the house its Preservation Award for excellence in restoration. Now to the spooky part… when the Catholic Church owned the home, a pile of newspapers spontaneously combusted. Current staff members report disembodied footsteps & laughter. Often, staff hears the large door handle on the front door turn & open, when they go to greet the new guest, no one is there. Priests & nuns from its previous occupancy have come back to visit. Their first question to the staff, “Have you seen the ghost yet?!” It’s said a man in gray descends the staircase & moves in front of the fireplace mantel. Sam Thomas, the curator, has many encounters; a bookshelf whose doors swung open on their own after being stuck shut. & many concerning the bedroom upstairs, home to the eldest daughter, Lucy Cobb who died of scarlet fever at the age of thirteen, has been seen peering out of the upstairs window. Another apparition of an older lady has been seen standing at the top of the stairway inside. Curious? Take a tour at the T.R.R. Cobb home, you may get your very own spooky tale… if you make it out alive!
