I used to pass by this building often when I was driving between Surrency and New Lacy and always presumed it was a general store. I imagine it also sold gasoline. It’s in the “middle of nowhere” at the intersection of Georgia Highways 203 & 15.

They lived in a separate home, on the property just behind the store. The house has been refreshed, and has tenants still residing there. The property is still owned by the Pierce families daughter-in-law.
I remember stopping at a general store out in the middle of nowhwere with my uncle, Robert Harman of Unadilla. The store was east of Pinehurst in Dooly County. I had my first and last taste of a Dr Pepper there. Thanks for all teh postings

Thank you, Larry. I will update and am glad to know more. I’ve passed it many times, imagining gas pumps out front and people stopping by on their way to somewhere else…
