Besides a precinct house, this was also used as a barber shop. Katherine Griffin recalls: “My Dad, Ed Grantham, used this building to barber for the area farmers on Saturdays until 9: or 10: pm”. These old precinct houses are getting harder to find. I’ve photographed this one many times over the years. Tracie Lott Thacker shared my favorite memory of this place: “My first ever vote was cast right here. I walked down the dirt road and my grandfather Cleon Lott and Aunt Karen Lott were working here that day.“
What exactly is a precinct house? I think there use to be one in Lily (Dooly County). I was told I was the city hall.
I like old places like this, better than modern houses !!! There is a historic feel to the old places.
I like the old place.
