Knight’s is a real rarity these days, an independent pharmacy in a very small town that is a center of life in the community. They also have a coffee shop and selection of hand-dipped ice cream.

Ferdinand A. Ricks House, 1905, Reynolds
Though built in 1905, the home of Ferdinand and Frances Ricks was completely renovated in the Georgian style by prominent Atlanta architect Charles E. Choate in the 1920s. Mr. Ricks was a partner in the family business, Ricks Brothers, which owned a general store, seed house, cotton gin, and guano enterprise.

This was recently used as the Steel Horse Music Hall & Barbecue, a performance space/restaurant. It was obviously a warehouse in its first incarnation; it sits beside the railroad line.
Charing, Georgia
I made these photographs in 2010. These structures all date to circa 1911. Charing, which was only incorporated as a town from 1912-1915, was originally known as Flem, for Flem Garrett, the son of Will Garrett, an early resident. The Flem post office was open from 1896-1909 but when the railroad line was run through this location, three miles west of Flem, the business of the town relocated here and was required by the Post Office Department to change its name. The railroad chose Charing, after the London location, Charing Cross. The Charing post office remained open until 1975.
The structure pictured above appears to have been a warehouse of some kind.
This store was owned by Lewis Watson and also housed the Charing post office. I believe it was one of three [one no longer extant] originally owned by the Rogers brothers.
As of late 2020, these structures are gone.
