RE: Historic Plaque Ceremony, Troup’s Gold Crown
Hallmark, June 2, 2016
TOCCOA, GA – The last historic plaque in the
2015-2016 series of plaques dedicated to downtown buildings will be mounted on
Thursday, June 2, 2016 at 5 p.m., at Troup’s Gold Crown Hallmark, located at 26
E. Doyle St.
R. L. Smith started a
TV and Appliance center at the corner of Doyle and Pond Street. Smith Furniture opened in this location in
January 1972 and was located in this location for 21 years. Before Mr. Smith purchased the building it
was a garage. Mr. Smith was very active
in downtown and served as president of the merchants association. Smith Furniture is now the oldest store of
its kind in the city. Bob Troup bought
the building in 1993 to expand his business.
The pent roof and gabled dormers make this building unique in downtown.
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 Christian
Hamilton at 706.898.5777 for inquiries.
