This badly faded photo has been enhanced.
Three
other pictures on this page have this house in
the background. The picture to the right was
made on the porch. The picture below has this
farm house in the background. Aunt Mag is
seated in front of this house (lower right).
She said that Yankee soldiers left bullets in
the wall of this house.
The Pope farm house is no longer standing. The
old house site, and the adjacent Pope burial
ground is on the grounds of Hartsfield Airport.

The location of this farm house is marked on
Sherman's maps of the Battle of Atlanta, Plate
LX. The maps also indicate the nearby
location of Pope's Cotton Gin, where the Pope
