Major’s Store, Danburg

This general store, identified by Doris Rhodes as the John Major’s Store, appears to be the older of two stores standing in Danburg. When viewed beside the Lindsey Store, it’s also a good example of differences, even with one style, that can be found in vernacular architecture. Both stores are of the shotgun variety, but this store is characterized by higher walls and windows, as well as a greater depth.

It originally featured a shed porch and had a gas pump out front. A 2008 Google Street View of the location confirms this architectural change.
