This local landmark dates to at least the 1940s, and perhaps earlier. And, they still have a soda fountain and hand-dipped ice cream. The Art Deco storefront, once commonly seen on pharmacies and jewelry stores, is largely intact.

I have an old black and white photo of the town square when it had wooden pavilions in the center .Also I have a postcard of the Elbert/Calhoun Falls bridge printed on its completion this would be the one that crossed the river before the lake was here.I have really enjoyed looking back on these places in Elberton thank you so much for creating this history for all Georgians.
I was born in 1958, Elberton. Wards has always been same location. Still is today, August 23, 2022, open.
What about the exquisite building to the left?
I enjoyed Ward’s Pharmacy. A nice look back on small town shops.
