Bagwell House, Circa 1884, Toccoa

This house likely dates to circa 1884, as the adjacent house, built in that year, is a near twin. It is best known as the Bagwell House, for two maiden schoolteachers who lived here.

Update: This photo was made in 2011. The house was being deconstructed/remodeled in 2013 and may no longer be standing.

Hotel Albermarle, 1924 & 1950s, Toccoa

Originally built by a Mr. Green of Atlanta, who had Green’s Department Store on Doyle Street in downtown Toccoa, the Hotel Albermarle burned and was rebuilt sometime in the 1950s, retaining some of the original structure. For many years, it was known as the Alexander Apartments. There are presently plans to renovate it to its original state.

Royal Crown Bottling Works, 1972, Toccoa

I found a date of 1972 for this business, but I’m not sure how accurate that is. As of 2022, I’m also unsure if it is still open.
