The Inn at Little Washington has submitted a draft proposal for an in-ground swimming pool behind its Parsonage guesthouse on Main Street.
The application will be considered at the town Planning Commission’s meeting March 24 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall, 485 Gay St.
According to the preliminary drawings submitted, the pool would be located directly behind the house close to Gay Street and Trinity Episcopal Church. A fence, which was approved by the Architectural Review Board (ARB) in January, will enclose the area.
Town Zoning Administrator Steve Gyurisin said the pool, which is shaped roughly like an oval, would be approximately 12 feet by 20 feet in area. He said the pool will sit “generally in the area” of a parking lot currently behind the Parsonage.

Ireland joined Foothills Forum as a full-time reporter in 2023 after graduating from the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication with a degree in journalism and minor in music. As a student, she gained valuable experience in reporter and editor positions at The Red & Black, an award-winning student newspaper, and contributed to Grady Newsource and the Athens Banner-Herald. She spent three years as an editorial assistant at Georgia Magazine, UGA’s quarterly alumni publication, and interned with The Bitter Southerner.
Growing up in a small town in Southeast Georgia, Ireland developed a deep appreciation for rural communities and the unique stories they have to tell. She completed undergraduate research on news deserts, ghost papers and the ways rural communities in Georgia are being forced to adapt to a lack of local news. This research further sparked her interest in a career contributing to the preservation of local and rural news.
