If you drive along the "Old Dixie Highway" or "old US 41" going northbound through Adairsville, GA, you will see this old restored Coca-Cola mural. This building is now the Bogle Dress Shop, but at some time, it used to be someone's General Merchandise store.
Here's a note about the building I got from someone at the Adairsville Depot Museum:
The building is called the Bogle Dress Shop building, but in reality that was long, long ago. The building is now empty, but this coke sign is from before the dress shop, when the building was, as you say, a general store. The sign was restored during the mid to late1990's as part of the Historic Downtown Adairsville restoration project.
This blog has been a really pleasant find for me. Both the writing and photography are good and I like your sense of history and place.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, nice perspective on the mural shot. Leaving a little bit of the road in the image gives me the impression of traveling and taking a look and seeing the mural.
