Title A name given to the resource The Wiregrass Farmer Building Description An account of the resource Location: 109 N Gordon St., Ashburn, Ga The Wiregrass Farmer building was designed by Peter E. Dennis of the Dennis & Dennis firm of Macon, Georgia in 1903. It was constructed on the instructions of town pioneer and Ashburn entrepreneur John Samuel Betts (July 29, 1848 – April 25, 1918).
