| Comments:Elmer Keeffe, much to be thanked for access, has a collection of orphan images, by which I mean unlabeled. As time passes, I hope to scan more. This one was barely labeled as indicated under \"Information with Photo.\" I am, of course, always skeptical and prefer independent evidence, and this case, Bryan Shaw provided it, thus: \". . . we only had partial details from background shots. It is definitely the Bannockburn Hotel, though none I can recall ever referred to it as the Riverside Hotel. . . . lower half of the old hotel is still standing, though starting to deteriorate badly.\" This image is now posted on the Berrien County Georgia Historical Photographs website: http://berriencounty.smugmug.com/gallery/4810654_jwdwR#285934506_45ScM The following quote by Bryan Shaw (many thanks!) was taken directly from this page: \"The Hotel was probably built sometime around 1905 when the Massey Felton Lumber Company operated a sawmill on the west side of the Alapaha River, one mile east of Bannockburn. William K. Sikes and his brother Franklin went to work for the lumber company about 1908, and when the sawmill closed about 1910, they purchased the whole lot of 480 acres, including the hotel. Sometime shortly before 1935 the top floor of the hotel was removed, and the structure became one story with a small attic room. The Sikes family was reared in this structure throughout most of the childhood of the Sikes offspring.\" I think that at least some of this information was originally provided by Mrs.Charles Duggan (nee Marian Floyd) and her sister, Doris Floyd and was presented at the 4-08 monthly meeting of the Berrien County Historical Society.(Mrs. Duggan and Miss Floyd\'s mother was a Sikes.) Special thanks also to Gaile Bailey for her assistance in bringing this information together. This image really excites me, and I am grateful for the collaboration of all the parties mentioned.
