The Wildes occupied a wooden house that stood on the site of the Old Shades and was pretty much similar in appearance. In 1811 lie purchased from the own er, Dixon by name, the house and with it an acre of land, on the eastern end of the square, which was bounded by 1011 is, Mclntosh and Greene. In 1811 b«» purchased from the same party the remainder of the square, one acre, bounded by Ellis, Jackson and Greene. The property was subsequently sub divided and lots were sold to various parties, but th<‘ borne place remained in the possession of the family more than a hundred years, it foil to «i sister of tlu* poet, who married Dr. Anthony, a relative of one of the founder* of the Medical Colege of (lent gla. The Anthony* had a daughter who married John Poumelle and she In turn fell heir to it. In the meantime the Wild© house burned and was re placed by the brick structure, which has remained up to the present day. There are no records to show when the brick house was built nor are there any now living who knows. The action of the weather had eaten the inorter from between the bricks of the chimneys and the building wore the appearance of great antiquity. Hon. Chari** Estes’ Recollection*. Hon.

When the election cam© off polk was victorious and the defeated whigs in Augusta had to set ’em up to the democrats. According to agreement, a big dinner was given at the Old Shades, attended by both sides and there was plenty of efast of reason and ilow of soul. Mind you this was To years ago.

Mirrors and ma hogany added greatly to the outside gppearance of tilings and gave it the air of a tingle-tingle or a razzle-daz zle. Perhaps Newt.
