Amanda America Dickson (1849-1893), the daughter of an enslaved woman and plantation owner, became one of the wealthiest Black women in nineteenth-century America and was Augusta’s first Black millionaire. She bought the house at 448 Telfair Street, now owned by Hock Development. Vice President, John Hock, said he was unaware of the building’s history when his company purchased it in 2014. It was converted into an office for a local law firm. Hock decided to embark on an exterior restoration project and pursued a historic marker. “We look forward to being a part of this renovation working alongside Historic Augusta and the Georgia Historical Society to preserve an important landmark in downtown Augusta,” said Hock. A historic plaque telling Amanda Dickson’s story is expected to be installed after the renovation in March. #loveaugusta #georgiatrust #lucycraftlaneymuseumofblackhistory

It is with heavy heart that we bid adieu to Robyn Anderson who has served as Preservation Services Director at Historic Augusta for the past 12 years. She and her family are moving to Birmingham, AL, where her husband will begin a new job. She is a ray of sunshine to all who know her. We’ll miss her dearly. We wish her all the best in this new chapter in her life. Godspeed, Robyn!
