The History of The Camellia House
Construction began in 1905 by William S. Cobb, Sr, and his wife, Berry. Mr. Cobb was the owner of a fertilizer manufacturing company here in Tifton. He later became involved in Real Estate with Captain Henry Tift.
The Cobbs wanted to build a home that would impress others and be a comfortable home for their growing family. The builder of the house is reported to be a 'Mr. Westbrook".
​
The home features its iconic three-story turret with original blown curved glass, hardwood floors, layers of detailed crown molding, Mastercraftsman hand-carved woodwork, and original stained glass. The wrap-around porch boasts 18 restored Corinthian columns.
​
Over the home's 118-year history, it has housed an art studio, dance studio, and law office. Yet, the heart of this beauty has always been a home.
​
The Raeder-Anderson Family is proud and humbled to be the home's most current residents. They are dedicated to maintaining the beauty of the home for Tifton's next generation.
