When I was a boy I thought this looked a lot like the Alamo. It’s a nice example of Spanish Mission Revival architecture, and though it’s been slightly modified over the years, is among Fitzgerald’s oldest businesses. The Parrot family has operated it continuously since 1897.

My Grandpa Milligan Magnus White bought his farm supplies for his farm in Irvinville.
THE FURGUESON TRACTOR CO. WAS IN STANDARD SUPPLY, 1953, MY DAD OWNED IT, ALSO HAD OLDSMOBILE, CADILLAC, G.M.C. TRUCKS DEALERSHIP-BROWN-MCDONALD MTR. CO, NEXT TO SEAGRAVES FURNITURE STORE, WHICH IS BROTHER CHARLEY’S NOW.
Love your site. I grew up in FL in the sixties and many of your images recall trips north during those years.
Keep postin’.
One more thing, do you remember the tractor company next to Standard Supply???
Brian,
Miss your words my friend. You must not be on Facebook or you have removed me as a friend, don’t know. Things are beginning to pop in Fitzgerald and as long as friends help, it will get better. You are doing a good job, however, why not stop the vanishing??? The rich and powerful are destroying the south and you know it, so why not fight back??? Just look at what the local governments have done to Fitzgerald and Ben Hill County alone??? Thanks and keep up the good work. Oh, you could include Ashton School, Bowens Mill, and other places.
