A. W. Taylor Warehouse, Taylorsville

Because it’s essentially on the back lot of the L. H. Jackson General Merchandise store, I’m tentatively identifying this as the Jackson Warehouse. It’s likely where feed and other agricultural supplies were stored.


I believe my identification of this building to be correct, but if not, I’ll update. It most recently served as an optometrist’s office, but was originally the cotton warehouse of William I. Hudson (1822-1877). Hudson was a county commissioner, state representative, and state senator.


This is located at the center of the Good Hope community, across the road from the Good Hope General Store. I will update when I can identify it.

This was an old warehouse. I don’t know if it was a separate business or related to the adjacent general store.


This was part of Ernest Vandiver, Sr.’s, cotton seed business. Vandiver was the father of Governor Ernest Vandiver.
