This school, which is now a derelict ruin, has been described as follows 'Richard Malcolm Johnston, lawyer, educator, and author, operated Rockby, a school for boys revolutionary in its day. Disgusted with the harsh disciplinary methods of the time, Johnston instituted an honor system whereby students were expected to report their own misdemeanors. His system of discipline, "at once so liberal and so exacting," worked remarkably well, and Rockby enjoyed wide patronage. Opened in Jan., 1862, the school prospered until after the Civil War. Johnston left Ga. in 1867 under the social and financial pressures of Reconstruction and reopened his school as Pen Lucy School in Baltimore, Md. Forty Ga. boys followed their teacher to Md. and Pen Lucy continued in the Rockby tradition for about six years. Financial distress in Ga. later curtailed Johnston's main supply of boarding pupils, and, finding his honor system less effective when applied to day pupils with whom the teacher had limited contact, he finally closed the school. Johnston's best-known literary work, Dukesborough Tales, was inspired by his own experiences. In his autobiography he identified Powelton, Hancock County, Ga., as "Dukesborough."', Contents: The Land that Is Oconee -- The First Georgians -- Early Settlers and Indigenous Architecture -- Oconee Federal and Transitional Architecture -- Greek Revival Architecture of the Antebellum Era -- From Indigenous TwoStory House to Greek Revival Mansion -- Antebellum Grounds Interior and Diverse Architectural Styles -- Victorian Architecture After -- The Classic Revival -- Toward a New Architecture -- Baldwin County -- Hancock County -- Jasper County -- Johnson County -- Putnam County -- Washington County -- Wilkinson County -- Maps -- Notes ; "The middle Georgia area-including Baldwin, Hancock, Jasper, Johnson, Putnam, Washington, and Wilkinson Counties-is a vast living museum of classic southern architecture. First published in 1972, this sweeping survey remains one of the best books on the topic, covering primitive, Gothic, Greek Revival, and Victorian styles, and beyond. John Linley's descriptions of the diverse structures of the Oconee area are illustrated with more than three hundred photographs and representative floor plans. Fine architecture, as Linley shows, is greatly influenced by climate and geography, by the natural resources of the region"; some foxing, else VG/G. Book.
