This was first known as Bishop’s and likely sold everything from groceries to hardware. It was later home to Brown’s Hardware.

Brown’s Package Shop, 1944, Twin City
This package store is located next door to Louise Brown’s filling station and may have been owned by her, as well.
Commercial Block, 1907, Twin City
This large commercial block was originally home to Citizens Trading Company, a general merchandise and hardware store. In 1947, it became the Twin City Manufacturing Company, a textile factory that predominately made shirts. It was a subsidiary of Creighton’s at one point. I believe it’s still being used for manufacturing, as Stitch-n-Print, an embroidery business.

Graymont Bank & Post Office, 1901, Twin City
Many thanks to Clark Dixon, who owns this and several other historic buildings around Twin City, for graciously sharing his time and knowledge of the area. Were it not for the commitment to such structures by people like Mr. Dixon, many more of these places would certainly be lost.

Louise Brown’s Filling Station, Circa 1940s, Twin City
Mark Jones writes: This station was owned by my aunt Louise Brown. It was adjacent to Brown’s Package store and Pool Hall which she also owned and operated. I pumped Gas there during the summers when I came down from Atlanta on the Nancy Hanks. Her farm was a mile or so back up the road toward Swainsboro.
