Farmers Peanut Company, Unadilla

Donalsonville Grain & Elevator Company

When I first photographed this site, there were three silos. I believe one was lost in October 2018, as Hurricane Michael barrelled through Donalsonville.

Bainbridge Hardware Company

This building served several purposes. According to Susan Weathersby Mann it was originally a tobacco warehouse, then Jesse Gunn’s automobile dealership, then Willis Motors, and finally Bainbridge Hardware. Gary Hodges Sullivan writes [2019]: This great building was leveled and a Dollar General built. Sad.

Walter Morrison’s General Store, Mount Vernon

These two buildings on Church Street are my favorite in Mount Vernon. The red brick storefront on the left was Walter Morrison’s General Store. Neal Stanford writes: This was my grandfathers’ store, which he operated for 70 years. It closed in 1988. What great memories I have of it being open on Saturday mornings. Lisa Graham notes that the false-front building on the right was where Mr. Morrison stored his feed and seed.

It has been home to Dominique’s beauty salon for quite a few years.
