The elaborate parapet adds great character to this stunning commercial block, one of the nicest in any small town in Georgia.

This was once the fire station. When I was a teenager living in Barnesville, I dreamed of buying the (at that time empty) old fire station and living there. The large garage door was still on the building at that time, which I thought was the perfect solution: I could park my classic Mustang INSIDE my house! I still love this building and still secretly think it would make a great home for me AND my Mustang (oh, and the husband and kids too, of course!).
