No longer at this location, Sims Pottery has been in business in Gillsville since 1982. They began making handmade white pottery but are no longer involved in production. They now do wholesale distribution of products from around the world. As to the history of the building, Pam Perry writes: This building was once my grandfather’s general store. DC House and Son was purchased from the Meaders brothers in the early 1940’s as a store and warehouse. My uncle Bob House was the co-owner. I have memories of helping him there as a child. After grandfathers death mid-1960’s uncle Reo Frankum purchased and ran for several years. Note, Meaders brothers lived in Maysville, GA.

This building was once my grandfather’s general store. DC House and Son was purchased from the Meaders brothers in the early 40’s as a store and warehouse. My uncle Bob House was the co-owner. I have memories of helping him there as a child. After grandfathers death mid 60’s uncle Reo Frankum purchased and ran for several years. Note, Meaders brothers lived in Maysville, GA. My cousin Charles House has a lot of history on the business. Great to see the picture.
