Hicks Building, 1893, Dublin
Typical of turn-of-the-century commercial blocks, the Hicks Building today is home to two Dublin landmarks, the Minute Grill and Strickland’s Boots. It’s one of the busiest corners downtown.

First National Bank Building, 1912, Dublin
Designed for local attorney and businessman Frank Corker by the prominent Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck Brown (1878-1940) and known as “Dublin’s Skyscraper”, the First National Bank Building was one of the tallest buildings ever built in rural Georgia. It served as a bank until the 1950s and then fell into disrepair, its future uncertain for many years. In 2014, thanks to a community effort led by a very active Downtown Development Authority and Mayor Phil Best, restoration began. Local contractors Garbutt Construction did a beautiful job. It now houses the Dublin campus of Georgia Military College, a bistro, and private office space, and is a great example of community involvement and the desire to not just save but make viable historic structures.

South Georgia Mattress Company, Dublin
The owner of South Georgia Mattress Company, Wilburn Butler, is remembered fondly today. I’ve had several messages about what a nice man he was.
