Description
The tabby walls in Darien, GA are the remnants of the town’s cotton exchange warehouses and naval stores built 1815-1830. The Adam-Strain Building, built circa 1813, was a mercantile store and ship chandlery.
History
These tabby ruins attest to Darien's importance as a port for the export of cotton and timber in the early 1800s. The Union Army burned these structures in 1863. The Adam-Strain building was restored in 1873. The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation designated it as one of the 2008 Places in Peril after its owner attempted to demolish it; its future remains uncertain.
