The house was originally lived in by mill workers in Poley, AL, and was moved to the Beach (situated just behind, south of the Butler's 'Old Store'(now Red Bar site ) by W. J. Shepherd. The family used the cottage there for years, with Shepherd's daughter composing a book of poetry that was published while she was living there. The property was purchased in the 70's by well known, local entrepreneurs and then became known as the 'Sugar Shack'. The cottage was purchased in the mid 1990's by the Hester family who relocated it to it's present site. Turn-key , Room for expansion/addition onsite. Truly a Grayton Beach Classic!
