The Anderson Cottage, also known as Miss Ruby's House, is located at 425 Church Street (Tax Parcel No. 17-1-C1-B-007).

This one-story asymmetrical cottage in the Queen Anne style has a pyramidal roof with lower-cross gables and a high degree of ornamentation. The full-facade porch features a spindlework frieze with beads, lace-like brackets, turned supports, and chinoiserie detailing within the balustrade. Wooden pegs rather than nails construct the windows and doors throughout the house, suggesting that they antedate the house itself and represent a relatively common practice for builders of the time to use parts from older, dismantled homes. Mimicking a similar chinoiserie balustrade, a new deck connects the house's south elevation with a two-story front-gable garage.

Allen H. Talmadge sold one-half acre of his vegetable garden, according to an oral history account, to Mrs. Jessie H. Baughn, who built the house there circa 1898. Sanborn Insurance Maps and deed records confirm that the cottage stood on the site in 1915. Miss Ruby Anderson, a distinguished educator, purchased the home in that year and resided there with her siblings. Her brother, Henry Claude Anderson, won renown for his innovative soft drink "Budwine," and according to local legend, the formula for this cherry drink was developed in the house. The Anderson Cottage passed out of family hands when Miss Ruby died in the 1970s. Richard M. Harris, Jr. purchased the house in 1979 and initiated the enlargement of the garage, built in 1923. Subsequent renovation and restoration efforts were completed by Kenneth Jarrett and Joan Jackson, who bought the house in 1983, and Nancy and Wendell Eisele, who purchased the home in 1992 and maintain it as a private residence.

The Anderson Cottage is locally designated as a Historic Landmark (December 6, 1994).
