General Store, Oglethorpe

I made this photo a few years ago. I think it was near the old New York Store just outside Oglethorpe. I’m identifying it as a general store, thought it looks like it may have been something else more recently. Some of my Brown relatives in Macon County (maiden name in this case) once owned a store in the country, according my father and aunt, and I’ve been looking through a lot of photographs trying to find out if it’s still standing. I have no idea of the name, or even a precise location. Places like this were once landmarks in the areas they served, so no matter how simple they are I try to document them when I see them.

    It was a general store well into the 90’s. I remember my dad buying my a handmade dreamcatcher from there around 1995 ish

    Likely a general store based on the details of the door, but doesn’t at all look like a typical general store.
