This is a wonderful example of the most common rural store type of early 20th century Georgia.

I knew this store had stories to share 20th century history truly amazing that it’s still standing,makes me wonder if the artifacts are still inside … I love History especially local history
I have a fairly nice sepia-toned B&W print of this store circa 1986. It had not been painted and was in much rougher condition at that time. I framed the photo so as to not show a fairly modern gas pump in the front. I took 1 shot and was ordered off the property by a family member (daughter?) who had just driven up. I wish that I could have taken more photos of the store.
Would love to see it. You can send it via email if you’d like.
Thought you may be interested in this image from the Library of Congress – I believe it is an internal view of the same store in the 1940s. Part of the FSA photography project. https://www.loc.gov/photos/?q=bicker+store+white+plains+georgia&st=slideshow
