The Boyd and Sallie Gilleland House (nowШаблон:When known as Peach Brandy Cottage) is a historic residence in Dawsonville, Georgia. It is located at 3 Shepard's Lane on Georgia Highway 9 (known as Thunder Road because of its use by moonshiners), leading to Atlanta.

Description and history

The Шаблон:Frac-story, wood-framed Craftsman style bungalow was built in 1929. According to its NRHP description, it is a “side-gable bungalow type with a projecting front-gable roof over the porch and a front-gable dormer.”

The home contained moonshiner Boyd Gilleland's still, used during the era of Prohibition (Prohibition in the United States lasted from 1920 - 1933). The home is on a road leading to Atlanta, and the liquor produced was sold at speakeasies.[1] The family also owned a service station, hardware store and Amicalola Lodge, and Boyd Gilleland was a Dawson County Tax Commissioner and a founder of Dawson County Bank.[2] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 2009, for its architectural and historical significance.
