The Andrews-Guthrie House was built by Otey Andrews in the 1890s for his new bride. A modified plantation-plain design, it, like many Cove houses, has a lowered second story. It was the Guthrie family home for many years, and although currently empty, is still owned and well maintained by one of the Guthrie sons who grew up there.
Andrews Lane with the Andrews-Guthrie House in the distance.In this view from near the bridge over Chickamauga Creek on Andrews Lane, the Andrews-Guthrie house gleams in the distance, just right of center. Lookout Mountain forms the backdrop. Andrews Lane connects West Cove Road, which runs along the west side of the Cove at the base of Lookout Mountain, with Hog Jowl Road, which runs along the east side of the Cove at the base of Pigeon Mountain. The two roads come together at the south end of the Cove to form Dougherty Gap Road, which goes to the top of the mountain.
The photo at the top was made in November, 2008 with a Canon 5D Classic camera and a Canon EF 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 lens. The bottom photo was made in 2011 with an Olympus E-PL1, my first mirrorless digital camera. The lens was the little 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 Zuiko that came with the camera.

Soli Gloria Deo -- For the glory of God alone
My book, Backroads and Byways of Georgia, is now out of print, although copies are apparently still available from Amazon, and possibly other sources. The second edition is now in the editing stage and is scheduled to be released in December.
