Since 2008. A visual survey of Georgia's historic architecture and culture. 9,000 locations. 30,000 images.
This was my father and mother, Huey and Lillian Johnson’s business from about 1952 until it closed in 2005.
Nice haul this trip. I think this is one of the nicest examples of this style yet.
Thanks.
I agree…and check out the entry for Griffin’s Cold Storage in Ocilla. I’m intrigued that such facilities were such patrons of Art Deco/Art Moderne in the 1940s. You’d never think meat lockers would be so enlightened!
I was about to comment that this was similar to a building in Ocilla. Came through these southwest ga towns, today.
Agreed, but there are examples scattered all over south GA. I wonder how this came to be?
Love it! Art Moderne???
I would say…Deco and Moderne seem to merge at times, and much of this era’s architecture gets lumped into “Mid-Century Modern(e)”…
