This short dirt road is known as Library Road, so I wondered if this was the library, but Holly Perryman writes: This was not a library. It was a movie theater to start with. When Herschel Mims ran a store that is between the post office and the voting precinct building, he used the old theater to store fertilizer in. The white block building on the corner of Bryan Road used to be the library but is now the voting precinct.
Multiple generations of my husband’s father have lived in Hartsfield, Georgia. I’m currently researching the Duncan and Gay families there. These photos are wonderful to have access to. Thank you!

This information came from my husband Kim Perryman who has lived in Hartsfield all his life.
