the
DEMING HOUSE One of Georgia Trust’s Places in Peril PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAVON LONGIELIERE
Built by Master Carpenter John Nelson Deming in 1898, the "Deming Heroes" are looking for the perfect owner for this 1898 Valdosta treasure.
L
ocated at 915 North Oak Street, between downtown and Valdosta State University, this eclectic home with a rare rain porch sits on a corner lot, fittingly graced by a gorgeous oak. Inside includes beautiful wood floors, mantels, and staircase. Its namesake, John Nelson Deming, master carpenter, built many elegant homes in Valdosta’s North Patterson Historic District/National Register of Historic Places, most notably, The Crescent. The Deming House is constructed of wood shared from the construction of Senator West’s Crescent. Deming is also responsible for the immaculate 1899 interior woodwork of the First Baptist Church and 1905 remodel of the United Methodist Church, both stunning reminders of his outstanding craftsmanship.
