Bill Jones, head of the Sea Island Company, which owns 60,000 acres on Sea island, Georgia, and the coastal areas surrounding it, admires Georgia's vernacular architecture and hence built a house in Cracker style. The interiors bared no resemblance to a cracker house as they have a European aesthetic, with upholstery, passementerie, draperies and Joneses' eclectric collection of antiques.
