The fourth historic plaque in the 2015-2016 series
of ten plaques dedicated to downtown buildings will be mounted on Thursday,
January 7, 2016 at 5 p.m., at Feral, located at 68 Doyle St.
These buildings originally housed Red Apple Grocery
and Sears. Over the years the buildings
have been combined into one to allow for more space. Cato’s was housed here in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Majorie Bowen opened Milady’s, a ladies
boutique, in the late 1990’s. This store
was located here until 2005 when Stephanie Ayers opened an English Import
Antiques business. In 2008 the building
was once again divided in two by Bob and Carla Weher to house Toccoa’s
Fireplace and Olie’s Ice Cream. Karly
Herring turned the two separate spaces into one again when she purchased the
building in 2013 to expand her women’s clothing boutique—Feral.
The historic plaque program highlights ten historic
buildings in Toccoa, and the remaining plaques are set to follow each month. Once
all plaques have been installed, a walking tour podcast will accompany them to
further bring historical awareness to downtown Toccoa.
Everyone is invited to attend this event! The Main
Street Office is happy to answer any questions. Please contact Weslie Clark at
