RE: Historic Plaque Ceremony, Sherwin-Williams, February
2, 2017
TOCCOA, GA – The fourth historic plaque in the
2016-2017 series of plaques dedicated to downtown buildings will be unveiled on
Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 5 p.m., at Sherwin Williams, located at 33 North
Sage Street.
In May of 1963, the Toccoa Sherwin-Williams opened,
serving as a downtown staple for the last 53 years. However, this building was
not always a Sherwin-Williams. Constructed in 1953, the Sherwin-Williams
building has housed several businesses, including two furniture stores, the
Gibson-Wilson Furniture store and, for a very short time in the beginning of
the 1960s, Stinespring Furniture. Next door, Sewell Furniture opened in October
of 1962 and stayed in that location for 31 years, effectively creating a nexus
of furniture stores around the block over several years. This building is
currently owned by Mr. Janney Sanders, a local attorney.
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, they
will be added to Main Street Toccoa’s Historic Walking Tour Guide.
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.
